PHANTOM OF THE OPERA [BLU-RAY]

Details

• Release Year: 1925
• Genre: Drama, Horror
• Plot: Lon Chaney's magisterial performance as Erik, the disfigured 'phantom' who lives in the catacombs and dungeons beneath the Paris Opera, has become an icon of modern culture. Twice remade and subsequently adapted into one of the most successful musicals in theatrical history, this 1925 super-production is a landmark of the silent era, often regarded as the first great horror film.; ; This Blu-ray is newly-mastered from by far the best 35mm film material ever available for a video edition. It includes two complete high-definition transfers of the 1929 reissue, three specially-commissioned musical scores, a standard-definition presentation of the surprisingly different 1925 edit and many other extras. This is as stunning and faithful a rendering of the silent classic as has ever been seen.
