The premise
A series of terrifying accidents and brutal murders leave a bloody trail into the subterranean caverns of an Opera house. Below the theatre stalks a man raised by creatures of the underworld.
Horror Vault's take
Beneath the grand stages of a 19th-century Parisian opera house, a feral and dangerous figure lurks in the subterranean darkness — a man whose origins are as monstrous as his deeds. When a talented young soprano catches his fixation, a trail of brutal murders begins to terrorise the theatre above. Director Dario Argento's daughter Asia Argento stars in this visceral, blood-soaked reimagining of the classic tale, with Julian Sands delivering a wild and unsettling turn as the Phantom. Expect far more gore and creature-feature menace than any stage musical ever dared to offer.
