The premise
A London opera house is haunted by tragic events on its opening night, but when its star is kidnapped, a producer tracks down the Phantom who is intent on seeking his revenge.
Horror Vault's take
Beneath a grand London opera house lurks a scarred, masked figure whose burning obsession with music — and with one gifted singer — drives him toward increasingly desperate and dangerous acts. When the Phantom's influence over the stage turns violent, a determined producer ventures into the shadows beneath the theatre to uncover the tormented soul behind the terror. Hammer Film Productions brings their signature lush Gothic atmosphere to this classic tale, blending tragedy and menace in equal measure. Herbert Lom delivers a haunted, intense performance that keeps the Phantom sympathetic even as his actions grow more extreme.
