Synopsis:
In late nineteenth-century Paris, strange things are happening at the Opera House. Legends abound of a mysterious phantom who, raised from childhood by rats, inhabits the subterranean caverns deep beneath the famous building, occasionally emerging above ground to wreak bloody havoc. Enchanted by the voice of the beautiful Christine Daaé, an understudy in the upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet, the phantom quickly brings the singer under his spell, setting himself on a collision course with her would-be suitor, Raoul. As the gala performance of Romeo and Juliet draws near, and Christine falls ever deeper under his influence, the phantom hatches a diabolical plan to secure his young protégeé the starring role - and claim her as his, once and for all.
Based on Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel of the same, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA sees Italian horror master Dario Argento ( Suspiria , Deep Red ) turn his masterful directorial hand to a period piece, while still injecting proceedings with all the expected visual flair and thick gore. Featuring lead performances from Asia Argento ( The Stendhal Syndrome ) and Julian Sands ( Warlock , Boxing Helena ) as the titular villain, alongside expert cinematography from veteran DP Ronnie Taylor ( Gandhi ) and a lush, orchestral score from Ennio Morricone ( The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ), Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to raise the curtain on Argento's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, newly restored in 4K from its original negative and loaded with a bewitching array of new and archival bonus features.
