    "He sold his soul for rock-n-roll," read the tagline for Brian De Palma's satirical Phantom of the Opera for the '70s rock scene. After hearing Winslow Leach (William Finley) perform a song from his Faust rock opera, Phil Spector-ish impresario Swan (Paul Williams) decides that Winslow's opera would be the perfect debut attraction for his new rock palace, the Paradise. Swan steals the music and has Winslow imprisoned -- but not before Winslow meets aspiring songbird Phoenix (Jessica Harper). Jumping prison, Winslow breaks into Swan's Death Records factory to ruin the recordings, but a record press accident grossly disfigures him. Winslow then sneaks into the Paradise to sabotage Swan's show, disguising himself as the Phantom. Swan, however, cuts a deal with the Phantom to finish his cantata; he promises that Phoenix will sing it but then reneges, hiring prissy glam rocker Beef (Gerritt Graham). Determined to have Phoenix sing, the Phantom soon discovers just how far Swan will go to give the people what they want. Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide

    May 23, 2009: The Phantom of the Paradise is what cult films are all about. A film you strive to watch over and over but not in succession. You know when you are hooked when you know the songs by heart and want to sing them out loud. Or that could be just me. But in any case, the plot is full of twists and turns taken from many great stories/movies in literary/cinematic history. Its worth watching at least once for those who don't get into cult films. You may find that you like it regardless of the cult film status.

    March 21, 2009: Having first watched this movie in the 70s and then seeing it again in 2007, I remembered every word to every song. It's a great musical. I'm so glad it's finally on DVD!
