Phantom of the Paradise | Rotten Tomatoes

Ashley D This movie, truly has a special place in my heart. There's a lot of cult classics out there and this is one of them. This one however, truly does not get the credit it deserves. The music, the story, just everything about this movie is perfect. The movie may not be for everyone, but this movie I truly believe stands above a lot of cult classics. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review LOLMAN 9 Brian De Palma proves with Phantom of the Paradise that he is a master of multiple movie genres. Jessica Harper's performance as Phoenix is perhaps one of the finest I've seen in a rock opera to date. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Johnathon W Unique take on the Phantom of the Opera that while flawed, provides an entertaining 90 minutes. The cast is solid for the most part, with Jessica Harper entrancing as Phoenix while Paul Williams is nicely menacing as Swan, the evil manager, while also pulling double duty delivering some nice songs. Behind the camera, Brian De Palma does a mostly fun job adapting "Phantom of the Opera" with a mixture of "Faust" but doesn't quite get the tone right at times. The opening act is the worse, feeling more like slapstick, before settling into a more tragic, horror vibe. Ultimately, a fun watch for fans of the material but definitely not perfect. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Michael V He sold his soul for rock n’ roll! Phantom of the Paradise is a 1974 American rock musical comedy horror film written and directed by Brian De Palma and scored by and starring Paul Williams 🎭 A fun B grade cult Movie… Not bad, but not my favourite either 😐 Meh, it passed the time. Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼 A gifted rock composer plots revenge after a devious record producer steals both his music and his girl. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Though, i know this film is nowhere near perfection , but i really liked its eerie style and how good they mixed comedy with mild horror, one of my favorites. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Z I didnt know this was a musical, Intentionally campy and trashy, It pays tribute to lots of past horror movies, Jokes are amusing, Pace and performers have lots of energy, But the music is so intentionally bad, They could've at least made a few songs memorable.
