Hammer Films' take on "The Phantom of the Opera" includes quite a lot of actual opera, with a blend of gothic horror in the mix. A nicely done aesthetic in Technicolor sets the stage, but a mediocre film.
This one is leans more toward character drama, or perhaps mystery, than horror as such. Otherwise it's about what one expects from Hammer, more less, less mostly. Bit slow in places, adequate performances, harmless. The phantom here is no Lon Chaney.
