Viewing Notes
via Netflix
A darker version of the classic Gaston Leroux novel. A young soprano becomes the obsession of a horribly disfigured composer who has plans for those oppose himself or the young singer. I was actually holding off on watching this because the last time I watched it I was either in 7th or 8th grade and loved it then and didn’t want to tarnish that. A grim and bloody take on the book, they definitely play this one as a horror film and Robert Englund does his best not to channel Freddy too much here but to make it it’s own character. The make-up probably doesn’t help that effect much. Pretty good cast and I liked this take on it still. Definitely not the ‘happier’ Phantom we got with Andre Lloyd Webber.
