Trading tragic romance for Faustian malevolence, the 1989 version of The Phantom of the Opera is a surprisingly good example of '80s horror. It was dismissed as gory trash by most critics (no doubt because Kevin Yagher's gruesome makeup effects are effectively revolting), but horror buffs will be more forgiving of this lush production, which ranks well above average for horror films of its time. Set in Victorian London and shot mostly in Budapest, Hungary (for period architecture), the film reunites director Dwight Little (Halloween 4) with "Freddie Krueger" himself, Robert Englund, who had worked together on the Nightmare on Elm Street-based TV series Freddie's Nightmares.

I have always remembered this movie after it was released. Parts of it just stuck with me, in a good way. It is a very fun movie, and although it is a bit dated, it is better than some of the movies coming out these days. The movie is actually more suspenseful than scary. It'll keep you guessing till the end. If you ever find yourself with an afternoon or evening free, just go rent this movie, and have an old fashioned good ol' time! You might want to fix some POPCORN to snack on while watching it!!!!
