Italian horror maestro Dario Argento tackles Gaston Leroux's tale of love and revenge set in a Paris Opera House, which comes complete with its very own phantom (Julian Sands)--a tortured man who was abandoned as a child and raised by the house's resident rodents. With his usual visual flair, moody atmosphere, and penchant for blood and gore, the director presents a very different twist on this timeless story. His daughter, the beautiful Asia Argento (XXX, TRAUMA), stars as the phantom's love interest and aspiring opera star. [More]

Missing is one decent scare and, worst of all, the passion that this classic gothic romance is known for.
