A newer, gorier version of the horror film classic of Gaston Leroux's classic tale.
Christine Day is a young Broadway singer in New York City. She is auditioning for a show and comes across a piece of music written by an unknown music composer named Erik Destler nearly 100 years before. Erik had made a pact with the devil so the world would love his music, but the devil had one condition: that Erik's face would be horribly disfigured forever. Once Christine sings his music, she is taken from present day New York to 1881 London were she is the star of the London Opera House. There she is coached by a mysterious caped figure that will do anything to make her the star of the opera even if it means murdering people, and the figure is none other than Erik Destler himself.

The Phantom of the Opera (1989)
A darker version of the classic Gaston Leroux novel. A young soprano (Jill Schoelen) becomes the obsession of a horribly disfigured composer (Robert Englund) who has plans for those oppose himself or the young singer. The Phantom tale has been told many times, as a musical, a romance, a tragedy, as a horror. While this has elements of all those things, it mostly falls under horror. Other then music the film features amazing make-up effects for the titular phantom. The make-up was created by the amazingly talented Kevin Yagher (Child's Play, a Nightmare on Elm.St). Now being no stranger to the world of foam rubber, Robert Englund was more then willing to get back in the rubber. The film features one of the most beautiful makeup effects ever put on film. The makeup is so detailed and amazing. Also, the film contains buckets of blood and carnage. There's beautiful decapitations, Wonderful stabbings, and gorgeous gore. Also, John Carl Buechler (TROLL, Ghoulish, Re-Animator) did extra makeup and gore effects for the film. The film is wonderfully directed, splendidly crafted in music and sound, beautifully Gory. The film is a wonderful masterpiece and a personal favorite. I Love everything about this film. The acting is wonderful and Robert Englund is magnificent.The film is great and wonderfully crafted film.
