The Phantom of the Opera

I didn't really vibe with this one. im not into black and white films often and silent films arent my thing. pretty much only here for the pretty much it track

Carl Laemmle brings Gaston Leroux horror-thriller to the big screen in the classic silent film _The Phantom of the Opera_. The story follows a Parris opera house that’s being terrorized by a fiend who threatens the new owners with deadly and disastrous consequences should they not meet his demands; meanwhile aspiring singer Christine Daae is secretly tutored by the mysterious Angel of Music, who promise to make her a star. Lon Chaney gives an iconic performance, and really transforms himself with an incredible makeup job. Additionally, the plot is remarkably faithful to the novel; save the ending. And the costumes and sets are quite impressive. It can be a bit meandering at times, but _The Phantom of the Opera_ holds up remarkably well and deserves its place in the pantheon of Universal Monsters films.
