Needles taped to eyelids so there's no option for the female protagonist but to witness the butchery and reiceive a villianous headfuck from the "Phantom". Stabbed hands, ex-wives prying eyes blown away, scissor driven interrogation and disembowlment soundtracked by Italian thrash metal legends Steel Grave. This flick is gold and is reinvention of old subject matter (including Argentos) that spews intensity.
But yo.... you're like down with Jerry Maguire and can't see the merit in this? :rolleyes:

Don't get me wrong, I like the film, I was just disappointed that Phantom didn't make it(@Flayed-that's the problem I was talking about, not really a problem, just a disappointment like I said.) and...hell I don't know, I guess I was sorta taking it out on the decision to put a copy on the list. But it's a very good film which I do like quite a bit, if you like Phantom of the Opera has much as I do, then I don't see how you can't like Opera.
