Lon Chaney's magnetism and the overall impact of the suspense and reveal is still impressive.

Joel Schumacher har lavet en smuk og i enkelte scener medrivende kopi af sceneversionen – og det er også en præstation.

What is The Phantom of the Opera about? Toggle content

In the depths of the Paris Opera House, a mysterious figure known only as the Phantom holds court, using his enigmatic voice to guide and manipulate the aspiring soprano Christine Daaé. His obsession with Christine grows, and he demands that she replace the prima donna, Carlotta, or face dire consequences. As Christine's career takes off, she finds herself trapped between her love for Raoul, the Viscount de Chagny, and the Phantom's increasingly erratic behavior. When the Phantom's true identity is revealed, a deformed and reclusive musician named Erik, he kidnaps Christine and takes her to his underground lair. Raoul and a secret policeman, Inspector Ledoux, must navigate the labyrinthine catacombs beneath the Opera House to rescue Christine and bring the Phantom to justice. Will they be able to save Christine before it's too late, or will the Phantom's twisted love consume them all?
