  This is from the Hammer Horror Collection, this is my first exposure to the Phantom of the Opera, I've never read it or have seen the play or the movie until now and Hammer Films has done an excellent job of putting for a 1962 Horror Film, which I am sure kept many couple out of the back seat at the drive in's. Beyond any doubt a British Release. I can give this no less then 4 1/2 stars.

  Horrible fruitcake adaptations of the story aside, the tale of The Phantom of the Opera has never done a hell of a lot for me but if there was a version that was going to get me to change my mind the Hammer version would've been the one to do it. As always, Terence Fisher's… More
  Horrible fruitcake adaptations of the story aside, the tale of The Phantom of the Opera has never done a hell of a lot for me but if there was a version that was going to get me to change my mind the Hammer version would've been the one to do it. As always, Terence Fisher's direction is superb and the actual phantom looks pretty cool. The ending's kind of abrupt, ending just for the sake of ending and you never find out of Petry gets his revenge on D'Arcy. As with most Hammer movies, The Phantom of the Opera is all in the direction, set design and atmosphere, but not much beyond that...

  Solid, horror style retelling of the story.

  I can't imagine that this is any worse that any other PofO renditions, save of course for the classic, I sure, Brian DePalma's Phantom of the Paradise, and possibly Argento's version. Although it wasn't great, it wasn't bad, and the Phantom did look pretty… More
  I can't imagine that this is any worse that any other PofO renditions, save of course for the classic, I sure, Brian DePalma's Phantom of the Paradise, and possibly Argento's version. Although it wasn't great, it wasn't bad, and the Phantom did look pretty creepy. Of course you have the regular gentlemanly attitudes of the characters that are in every Hammer Horror, which I find to be so curious that it holds my attention, even if the story is weak. It doesn't hold a candle to any other Hammer's I've seen, yet maybe a dim night light, as it's the same basic idea. Either way the Phantom is pretty cool, yet the end is somewhat anti climactic, although it leaves you with a killer ending shot.
