This film of Verdi's Otello has an awful lot going for it. Ably led by the masterful conducting of Lorin Maazel, the performance enshrines marvellous portrayals of Otello and Desdemona by Domingo and Ricciarelli who deliver performances which both vocally and on the screen often touch greatness. With the typically sumptuous sets of Zefferelli, the film is often quite memorable (for example, at the unforgettable close of the first act).

Yet, as previous reviewers have pointed out, it is indeed a pity that the director chose to cut the Willow Song. That said, with a running time of 1hr 58Mins, Zefferelli wields the axe on Verdi's score with disconcerting ease, with the consequence that the poetic beauty of Boito's libretto and the ...

Okay, this is not a horror based on the Phantom of the Opera but there are some likeness in it. A young diva replacing another to play the lead role, becomes famous and has a admier who becomes deadly mad about her. Only this time, he kidnaps her, puts horrfing nails under her eyes and lets her watch him do murder to all the people she knew alongside her. Sure, it's old and the dubbing is poor but there are some terrifying moments in it. The murders are gruesome while playing upbeat 80s songs, it didn't make a lot of sense and when you find out who's the bad guy, it is badly let down. The ending also is pretty poor too but it's something different every now and then.
