After the demanding lead singer of a new opera production of
Verdi's Macbeth is injured in an accident, her young understudy,
Betty (Cristina Marsillach) opens the show to rave reviews. But trouble is only
just beginning behind the scenes of this cursed opera, as Betty becomes the
plaything of a murderer. He repeatedly ties her up and tapes rows of needles
under her eyelids so she can't blink, forcing her to watch as he murders her
friends and colleagues. Strangely, these killings echo the nightmares
Betty had as a child after her mother died – nightmares of a sinister man in a
black hood. (Italy, 1987, 107 mins, R,
English | Dir. Dario Argento)
