Horror

When Christine Day accidentally discovers a rare piece of music, she brings back to life its composer, Erik Destler. Through her fascination with the music she is transported back to Destler's time, 1889, and is thrust into stardom by singing his opera as no one else can. But against the exciting backdrop of the opera lurks a hideous danger—the Phantom—and Christine soon finds herself the object of his relentless desire.

VIBE

A lurid, operatic descent into obsession and artistic madness. This low-budget horror remake drips with melodrama and a certain gothic charm, offering a uniquely gory take on the classic tale. It's a haunting, if rough-around-the-edges, experience.
