The Phantom of the Opera is moved to the contemporary rock world in this horror satire, featuring colorful production numbers and the songs of Paul Williams. "Brian De Palma's Grand Guignol send-up and put-down of the rock business, with a maimed musician (William Finley) haunting a concert hall operated by a malevolent mogul (Paul Williams). This was one of De Palma's early efforts, and its excesses can be chalked up to youthful enthusiasm--the ideas seem appealingly audacious even when they misfire" (Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader).
