An eerie mixture of poetry, gothic melodrama and a surreal Feuillade-style serial.

Despite outdated acting techniques and staging, this is a must-see for all cinema buffs, as make-up genius Lon Chaney's Phantom is a Hall of Horror landmark.

Still pretty darn creepy after almost an entire century.
October 19, 2008
Though Mr. Chaney wears a more grotesque make-up than ever, the film play seems only pretty good.

Art at any cost

The main inducement to watch remains Chaney's tragic, ineffably sad figure.

Lon Chaney's performance as the hideous organist prowling the sewers beneath the Paris Opera is still a cornerstone of gothic horror.

The best of the small population of pure horror films made in the United States during the silent era.
November 24, 2011
A grand, pulpy potboiler of a suspense melodrama.
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.
August 16, 2013
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.
