3.5/5
"The original 1925 version of
The Phantom of the Opera
gets a touch-up with a modern Goth-inspired soundtrack from the band Switchblade Symphony."

Christopher Null
4.5/5
"Its moody sets and murky patterns of shadows and light helped to set a high standard for horror films"
All Movie Guide
Dan Jardine
1.5/4
"Like that other creaky Universal monster epic,
Dracula
,
The Phantom of the Opera
is one of those classic films whose reputation trumps its actual cinematic worth."
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
B-
"While many chunks of the film are indeed effective (and several downright terrifying), the overall effect is unsatisfactory and bipolar."
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
5/5
"The new facelift and the truckload of supplementary materials serve to keep the film both timeless and accessible - while affording a true classic of the Silent Era the immortal respect it certainly deserves."
