Directed by the great Brian De Palma, this cult rock opera blends horror, satire, and glam rock in a truly bizarre reimagining of The Phantom of the Opera!?
?
With a memorable score and performance by Paul Williams (Muppet Christmas Carol anyone?) - and a sharp critique of the music industry, the film remains a beloved oddity of 70s cinema! ?
Synopsis:
Evil record tycoon Swan (Paul Williams) has sold his soul to the devil for eternal youth and success – 20 years ago. Swan’s current scheme is to steal a rock cantata from composer Winslow Leach (William Finley) to celebrate the opening of his rock palace, The Paradise. While trying to stop Swan, Leach was framed and convicted for drug dealing, and becomes the victim of a freak accident that leaves him horribly disfigured. He takes refuge in the cavernous Paradise, hiding his mangled face beneath an eerie mask and planning gruesome vengeance upon Swan – and everyone else who has harmed him.
