By the way....what?

Everyone knows that I am a big movie buff: horror, sci-fi, romance, comedy...you name it. But I admit, my senses were slightly tilted when I came across this unique horror from Italian director Dario Argento, a specialist in the sub genre of horror called gaillo. Gaillo? Yes. In other words, suspense, crime fiction, soft porn, and paperback thriller all have a baby beside the Pisa tower.


I was fascinated because it had everything to do with opera, and despite what the title suggests--leading lady dies opening night; tenor suddenly falls into a coma days before the premiere; every chorister contracts a vile stomach bug...etc--this movie is nothing short current day slashers. Was I shocked? Yea. In a good way? Probably. I don't know yet. A full review once I've got a little time to process.
