Editorial Review - Description
Mysteriously, a series of terrifying accidents and brutal murders leaves a bloody body trail in the subterranean caverns of an opera house basement. Born into the murky sewer waters below the theater stalks a man/monster raised by creatures of the underworld. This Phantom's dark and grotesque life is shattered when he becomes obsessed with a beautiful young singer, seducing her with his chilling but exotic presence. The blood-curdling terror and disturbing eroticism of this classic story make this horror film one that will haunt your dreams forever.
This is what happened when Daria left Dario
A Customer Review by Octoworm
As most Argento fans know, Daria was Dario's partner and collaborator from Deep Red on through Opera. In other words, she helped Dario achieve his great artistic peak that spanned about a decade, and spawned the lead actress of this film, Asia Argento. Well, if Daria can be given shared credit for Dario's greatest successes, perhaps we should blame her absence for this dismal, cheesy atrocity.
I imagine this film would be painful and numbing for any viewer to watch, but it is especially excrutiating for a fan of Argento who has seen the masterpieces of which he is capable. At any rate, I urge everyone to stay far away from this debacle. Watching it is akin to undergoing the sadistic torture that Argento's villains subject their victims to in Dario's other films. You've been warned!
One final note: don't confuse this movie, Phantom of the Opera, with Argento's much different and much better movie, Opera.
The worst Argento ever
A Customer Review by (or his wife)
Admittedly I still haven't seen "The Card Player," which is supposed to be completely rotten -- but I've seen nearly all of Argento's other films, and this is BY FAR the worst. The acting, the script, the 'special' effects -- dear god it is just unfathomably bad. The two leads are godawful in their roles, and the script is no help!
