4/10

Doing a period piece on an '80s slasher budget was a doomed idea.

3.5/5

Focusing more on the horror contained within Leroux's original story, this version is a wickedly ghastly and blood-soaked tale of obsession that allows Robert Englund the room to do what he does best as a performer- go nuts.

The big climax intended as a surprise reveal is just drawn out and lackluster.

2.5/4

A worthwhile curiosity, one that has understandably achieved cult status in the decades since its release.

Englund seems determined to turn the phantom into another sequel-spawning character...

Full of gore and Gothic atmosphere, this slasher style remake is a fun albeit flawed product that blends 80's horror with period drama.
