Horror

A London opera house is haunted by tragic events on its opening night, but when its star is kidnapped, a producer tracks down the Phantom who is intent on seeking his revenge.

VIBE

A lavishly produced, atmospheric descent into gothic obsession. The operatic setting amplifies the tragic, melodramatic tale of a disfigured genius seeking vengeance. Expect grand sets, a chilling score, and a palpable sense of dread.
