Sahnelerde fırtına gibi esen genç, alımlı bir opera sanatçısı... Ve ona delicesine bir tutkuyla hayran, saplantılı, sadist, manyak bir takıntılı hayran... Dario Argento, 1987 tarihli bu filminde, korku ve gerilim sineması tutkunlarını "Terör Operası"nın gösterimine davet ediyor. Sahnelenecek olan bu operada başrolde "Kötülük" var. "Gore" unsurların ve çığlıkların başa baş gittiği bu klasik film "irkilmek isteyenler için" biçilmiş kaftan.

Opera

A year has passed since the young Emperor went hunting with his falcon and captured the Peri, who was in the form of a gazelle, and married her. She is still all light, neither human nor a spirit, and if after three more days she casts no shadow, she must return to Keikobad and the Emperor will turn to stone. Since she cannot bear children unless she can find a human shadow, she asks the strange Nurse for help. The Nurse, who controls weird magics, brings her to the discontented household of Barak, a dyer, and his Wife. The Nurse attempts to purchase the Wife's shadow by promising her riches, an idyllic life, and a young lover. The Wife resists three times, and the Baraks are cast into an underground vault. The characters wander through eerily exotic settings while they recover their consciences, and all ends happily.
