Young opera singer who gets her chance when the star is gone. She's then stalked by a crazy fan who she's been dreaming about that wants her to himself.
Well doesn't that sound familiar.

Of course its a reworking of Phantom..... but its a hell of a lot better interpretation than the Andrew Lloyd Webber bullshit that came out a few years earlier (not to mention the awful Jullian Sands version - maybe you're mixed up with this?). This flick is quite possibly Argentos finest work because its coherrant and and has his trademark staged murder scenes only this time round he ups the savagery.
Needles taped to eyelids so there's no option for the female protagonist but to witness the butchery and reiceive a villianous headfuck from the "Phantom". Stabbed hands, ex-wives prying eyes blown away, scissor driven interrogation and disembowlment soundtracked by Italian thrash metal legends Steel Grave. This flick is gold and is reinvention of old subject matter (including Argentos) that spews intensity.
But yo.... you're like down with Jerry Maguire and can't see the merit in this? :rolleyes:
