Product Description

 
Brian De Palma's great, overlooked 1970s glitter-rock comedy-musical spectacle is a memorable combination of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and FAUST. Winslow Leach (William Finley) is a talented young rock composer/janitor whose music is stolen and whose life is destroyed by a ruthless record tycoon named Swan (Paul Williams)--who just happens to have sold his soul in exchange for rock-n-roll success and eternal youth! The ruined and disfigured Leach becomes the Phantom, an imposing leather-clad creature who is hell-bent on demolishing Swan as the diabolical music mogul prepares to open his biggest venture yet-- a rock-and-roll palace called The Paradise. Eerily prescient in it's depiction of yet-to-exist musical genres, this stunningly original and darkly comic rock nightmare features voice over narration by Rod Serling, and memorable original songs by the multi-talented Williams. Academy Award Nominations: Best Original Song Score (Paul Williams/George Aliceson Tipton).

PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE: A Horror Rock Opera?

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: that Phantom of the Paradise is a film that has become a cult classic for very good reason. The film certainly ranks with greats like Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Review: This glam-rock musical parody set in the age of disco fab is not your average horror movie and might not be considered a horror movie at all by some but you certainly can?t argue that it is a cult classic. A 1974 Brian De Palma masterpiece, the...

Phantom of The Paradise: "We'll entertain you at any cost!"

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Dated, somewhat forgotten 1974 cult film is a unique blend of satire, musical fantasy, horror and romance. Influential De Palma film.
Review: "Born defeated

Died in Vain

Super destruction you were hooked on pain

An tho' your music lingers on

Well all of us are glad your gone."

(From the song: The Hell of It - music and lyrics by Paul...

Blood, Music, and Laughs

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2000
Review: It's easy to over-praise a movie like this one, which has some really outstanding elements but ultimately isn't equal to the sum of its parts. I like it a lot, but I'm a little embarrassed to admit it. There's great music, some dramatic violence,...
