Review of The Phantom of the Opera (1925) by John A — 13 Aug 2010
From its opening shot of a mysterious figure in an underground cavern, this film is all about atmosphere. The acting, the sets, and even the colorization all work to enhance the feeling of dread at one hellbent on fulfilling his desires for his preferred actress.
Beyond Chaney's fine performance, the most impressive element is certainly the set design, which indicates an underground grandeur at every turn.
