Review of The Phantom of the Opera (1925) by Vincent P — 25 Jul 2010
Lon Chaney Sr. stalks across the screen like it's nobody else's business.
The sets are astoundingly gigantic, the spooky horror to slapstick comedy ratio is just right (as in the slapstick is kept to a minimum and only serves to break up the spooky bits) and at a taut hour and a half, it never overstays its welcome. Excellent prototype for Universal's horror flicks to follow.
