BENEATH HIS MASK... the Grotesque Face of Horror Unimaginable! INSIDE HIS HEART... the Desperate Desire for Beauty and Love!

Horror

The corrupt Lord Ambrose D'Arcy steals the life's work of the poor musical Professor Petry. In an attempt to stop the printing of music with D'Arcy's name on it, Petry breaks into the printing office and accidentally starts a fire, leaving him severely disfigured. Years later, Petry returns to terrorize a London opera house that is about to perform one of his stolen operas.

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.
