Leave your thoughts about Phantom of the Theatre.
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghLavishly produced and stuffed to the rafters with familiar horror tropes, [this] period pastiche should appeal to genre fans looking for a spin on classic themes and images. |
| Fort Worth WeeklyKristian M. LinAsian horror fans may be intrigued by the premise of this, but they should resist. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsThe movie is carried by sweeping widescreen images, dynamic camera movements, impressive special effects and a color scheme that contrasts icy blues against fiery reds. |
