The best of the small population of pure horror films made in the United States during the silent era.

Lon Chaney's performance as the hideous organist prowling the sewers beneath the Paris Opera is still a cornerstone of gothic horror.
August 12, 2008
Kerry is a colorless hero, Philbin contents herself with being pretty and becoming terrorized at the Phantom, and Chaney is either behind a mask or grimacing through his fiendish makeup.
January 05, 2014
An eerie mixture of poetry, gothic melodrama and a surreal Feuillade-style serial.

Art at any cost

The atmosphere matches Chaney's performance perfectly. His grotesque appearance is achieved with wires, cotton balls, and eye-dilating chemicals, but his character, as usual, is animated from within.
November 24, 2011
A grand, pulpy potboiler of a suspense melodrama.

Still pretty darn creepy after almost an entire century.
August 12, 2008
The main inducement to watch remains Chaney's tragic, ineffably sad figure.

Despite outdated acting techniques and staging, this is a must-see for all cinema buffs, as make-up genius Lon Chaney's Phantom is a Hall of Horror landmark.

Though Mr. Chaney wears a more grotesque make-up than ever, the film play seems only pretty good.
