A young opera singer is stalked by a deranged fan bent on killing the people associated with her to claim her for himself. --IMDb
One of my absolute favorites. According to Daria Nicolodi, that famous shot where her character is shot in the head, she thought Argento was trying to kill her in an on set "accident." She did it anyway, but apparently told him beforehand he had ONE CHANCE to get it and if he didn't, there would be no retakes.

I should clarify-Nicolodi was Argento's long time partner (and mother to their child Asia Argento). This was after their separation hence her concern he was trying to kill her.

Argento's last masterpiece, on some days I feel like this is his best work - that ending is so perfect.
