		The Phantom of the Opera is one of the best-known stories in modern history, though an explanation of the plot is requisite anyway.
		While The Phantom of the Opera establishes the monster themes that dominated the first era of the horror film, the modern horror genre is much more focused on psychological horror, which is a trend that begun, many critics might say, with Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby (1968).
		According to the cinematographer on The Phantom of the Opera, Charles Van Enger, Chaney suffered from the make-up noticeably.

		He vows to make her the star of the Paris Opera, a promise that involves threatening the new owners of the opera house and terrorizing the opera's lead soprano during a public performance with a crashing chandelier.
		Phantom's grandiose gothic designs — particularly the Paris Opera House interiors, the Masked Ball sequence (shot in costly two-strip Technicolor), and the subterranean catacombs — are lavish.
		The January 1925 Los Angeles premiere — After this preview, critics told Carl Laemmle that his expensive turkey wouldn't fly unless (1) he added comedy to brighten the film's dour mood, and (2) he changed the ending, which had the sinister Erik redeemed by a kiss from Christine, a conclusion that audiences found unconvincing.

		The voice later summons Christine to the cellar five flights beyond the opera house where she follows this sinister man whose face is covered with a mask.
		The Phantom agrees to release Christine from his underground cellar (which consists of a coffin bed where the Phantom sleeps) at a promise that she not only devote herself to her opera singing, but to never see or speak to her fiance ever again, for that she is forever his.
		As it stands, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA can be seen numerous ways on video and the new technology of DVD (which includes a 97 minute copy and an orchestral score), but it's Lon Chaney's performance that will remain the key cloak figure to this silent film's lasting appeal.

		Although marred by static direction and stilted acting, the 1925 silent film THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is known primarily for the memorable contribution by Lon Chaney as an actor and makeup artist.
		There is, however, one opera sequence where the singing of actress Mary Fabian (who did her own singing) is perfectly synchronized with the picture, which is a wonder to watch.
		By the time this version of the film had been issued in 1925, it was the third such release for 'Phantom', and the hodgepodge of title cards vary from rewrites and reshoots that occured (the first two premieres were disasters).

		This is one of the few Phantom of the Opera films that actually sticks close to the original Gaston Leroux book and - while it is silent - it loses none of the impact of the story.

		When this pair teamed up to bring Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera" to the big screen, it was a match made in hell.
		A film of gross overacting and overproduced grandeur, yet one without a scrap of digestible character, "Phantom" opens with young and lovely understudy soprano Christine Daae (Emmy Rossum, "The Day After Tomorrow") already under the spell of an obsessed, half-handsome, half-disfigured psycho who lives underneath the most grandiose opera house in 1889 Paris.
		But even if "Phantom of the Opera" weren't a sensory assault of cinematic excess, it would still be missing one of the primary draws of the stage hit: the audience's own role in the production, most notably when the theater's grand chandelier is sent crashing down by the enraged Phantom.

		An opera house is terrorized by a deformed man known as the Phantom, who tries to force the owners to put a specific singer in lead roles in their productions.
		He was both a consummate actor and an inspired makeup artist, and this movie was certainly a triumph for him in the latter capacity; the make up for Eric is as famous as that of Jack Pierce's for the Frankenstein Monster.
		In fact, the whole movie is a bit of a disappointment to me; it's too long for my taste, and there's too much time spent with the side characters and not enough with the Phantom himself.

		Happily, Joel Schumacher's "Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera," with a screenplay by the work's musical genius Andrew Lloyd Webber in collaboration with the director, is a gem.
		Indeed the most thrilling scenes in the movie take place not between Christine Daae and her handsome but bland childhood sweetheart, the wealthy Vicomte Raoul de Chagny (Patrick Wilson), but between Christine and the Phantom.
		A small segment of the picture is taken up with a flashback to the source of the Phantom's loneliness: as a result of a childhood disease that has eaten away part of his face, he is abandoned by his family, eking out a living as a caged, reviled figure in a freak show.

		It's a good pairing, as Englund does some of his finest work as the Phantom, seen here as a horribly disfigured composer who patches his scarred and mangled face with stitched-on flesh, and makes a deal with the devil to be immortalized through his music.
		Ok, i admit this movie was ok, but it's more like another one of Robert Englunds Freddy Krueger slsher movies rather then the Pahntom of the Opera.
		This movie has barely anything to do with the phantom of the opera, in fact it shouldn't even have the title "The Pahotm of the Opera" it should be something like "The Phantom of the Freddy Kreuger" or "The Pahntom of the slasher." or something like that.

		One of the most famous horror movies of all time, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA still manages to frighten after more than 60 years.
		From the point of view of the studio's management, however, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA was horrific in more ways than one, taking more than two years to reach the theaters after its initial completion in 1923.
		When it was originally previewed in California, critics told Carl Laemmle that he would have a turkey on his hands unless he offset the scary aspects with plenty of comedy relief, so the studio head brought in Chester Conklin from the Sennett lot and additional footage was shot.

		When Carlotta refuses to succumb to the Phantom’s warnings, tragedy strikes; the lights flicker and the house chandelier plummets onto the front row of the audience—instilling more fear in everyone and confirming that the malevolent Phantom will stop at nothing to get his way.
		In his lust, the Phantom kidnaps Christine and brings her to his living-quarters—deep underneath the voices of the Opera House.
		Even though The Phantom of the Opera is now more commonly known as one of the longest running shows on Broadway - in its roots, it is a horror story for the ages.
