About
Not for you if you want a grounded thriller or you dislike extreme, graphic horror; if you enjoy suspenseful giallo like Suspiria or Tenebrae, you may find this style-driven terror compelling.
Pros: stunning opera-house atmosphere; tense psychological horror; memorable music blend | Cons: uneven/awkward plotting; very graphic violence; some divisive performances
