Dario Argento Box Set (Suspiria, Opera, Four Flies on Grey Velvet) [Blu-ray]
A curated thematic collection THE SYMPHONY OF FEAR: THREE FILMS BY DARIO ARGENTO
SUSPIRIA (1977) Dario Argento personally introduces on-screen this 4K-restoration of his first true horror, the critically acclaimed masterpiece which married the rhythm of ballet and progressive rock for an unsurpassed concerto of witchcraft and supernatural nightmares. American student Suzy Bannion enrols at a prestigious Dance Academy where people either disappear or turn up dead, gored and mangled. There’s a demented killer on the loose and Suzy fears that she’s next.
FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET (1971) is a giallo to the tune of Maestro Ennio Morricone’s distinctively ravishing score! An unseen maniac is terrorizing an acclaimed rock musician whose life is soon besieged by senseless gory murders. The last image, mysteriously fixed before death, in one of the victim’s eye contains the only clue to the insane criminal, whose identity is then discovered in a dizzying twist!
OPERA (1987) It was only a matter of time before Argento tackled his beloved opera milieu, showcasing his favourite composer Giuseppe Verdi. Also known as TERROR AT THE OPERA it is now 2K-restored to original speci cations. Young opera singer, Betty, is new in the lead role of Verdi’s ‘Macbeth’. Soon she attracts the attention of a knife-wielding psycho who forces her to watch – with eyes pinned-open – as he butchers all who are close to her.
