Phantom of the Paradise
I happened to run across this one at the library, so I decided to give it a try, after so many positive things were said about it on the forum.
A glam rock musical version of Phantom of the Opera, Faust and Dorian Gray, with a healthy dose of kitsch thrown in. It's hard not to smile at this film, there are so many throw away references to classic horror films, and some songs that are quite good. This is the first feature by Brian DePalma, and it looks like it. I wouldn't mind if he would redo this film, with his cinema skills honed.
Paul Williams, the songwriter of the film, seemed to really enjoy his villainous role, but the casting and acting was generally silly by all involved. But that doesn't really take anything away from the film, which is too much fun not to enjoy.
Not scary at all, 3.5/5
