A Total Guilty Pleasure
My friend, a fellow Phantom Phan recommended this to me. I had my doubts when I picked this up but I sat down to watch it at about midnight, Ha! biggest mistake of my life. This was possibly the most disturbing, gory, creepy interpretation of Phantom ever, and you know what? I LOVED it.This is possibly one of my favorite film versions of this story, giving even Lon Cheney a run for his money. Robert Englund’s Erik was insane but brilliant and amazingly witty. He had the most amazing lines (“Love and music are forever”).
The story begins in modern day New York City when Christine Day and her friend Meg discover two pages of Don Juan Triumphant in an old archive, written by the mad genius Erik Destler. When Christine sings the piece for her audition, a sand bag falls on her and she passes out and is swept back to her past self and finds herself the object of the obsessive Erik.
An amazing film in it’s own right with beautiful music. But remember everyone, you are not sitting down to classic literature, you are sitting down to a gory slasher/horror film. It was a refreshing change from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical which quite frankly I both hate and love.
I’m a Leroux purist when it comes to Phantom but still this movie is one of my favorites.
