It might be missing the Andrew Lloyd Webber soundtrack, but of course, it still has its merits. The score is great, though it may feel repetitive and tonally out of sync with the scenes at times. Despite the minor issue in tone, it’s still well-acted, and Lon Chaney gives a menacing performance as the phantom. This is the first silent film I’ve seen that actually uses dialogue cards consistently, which made for a thickened and engaging plot. The set design is impressive, and I can only imagine that it was ahead of its time. The momentary use of color was a nice touch as well.
Man oh man, the hype around Lon Chaney is real. Tons of credit to the old-school for being a masterclass in make-up and expression. He wasn’t just a pretty face.
A disfigured man living beneath the Paris Opera House uses terror and manipulation to elevate a young singer's career.
The film was directed by Rupert Julian, a New Zealander who was a prominent director during the silent film era.
Yes, this 1925 production is a landmark silent horror film featuring a famous hand-painted Technicolor sequence during the masquerade ball.
