I've been a bad boy. This week is a return to catch-up programming. Programming films I should've seen forever ago but never bothered to or simply didn't even know about them. The debate this week was either a Wes Craven (guess which two classics of his I haven't seen and smack me) double bill or a Dario Argento (frequently labeled as the Italian Hitchcock) one. Well by the header you can figure out what was decided.
Mon. May 29
7pm Opera [1987]: Betty, an understudy for a production of Verdi's Macbeth, is given the chance to play the female lead. Her fear of Macbeth's notorious curse seems to have merit when a psychopath begins killing stagehands and a few ravens for good measure. The world of opera and giallo meet in what some consider the last truly good Argento film.
9pm TENEBRE [1975]: The classic and often copied (Halloween and Friday the 13th to name a couple) Argento giallo. An English pianist witnesses a murder of a psychic and finds himself, with the help of a hot reporter lady, on the trail to track the killer. If you like slasher movies this movie is the template to many of your faves. A must see.
RSVP. Pop fund in effect.
