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."  Filmcritic.com  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."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg
