Title: Doesn't even deserve one star
Product review: This film version takes away everything that is wonderful about 'The Phantom of the Opera' and blows it all to hell. Andrew Lloyd Webber's version and the original novel contain so much beauty, so much romanticism, so many haunting images... This terrible Robert Englund film is just a cheap horror film. It's not even scary... it's gross. So it doesn't even work as an effective horror film. It's more a slasher flick. Englund (of Freddy Krueger fame) totally misses the opportunity to play an effective Phantom. He just snarls and grunts and isn't menacing at all. 'The Phantom of the Opera' is one of the most romantic tales of all time. There's no love here. I mean, there are these fights scenes where the Phantom murders people. It's quite pathetic. And then, there are these parallels to modern times??? It's ridicolus. What a miserable film...
