Killed in a fire 13 years earlier, vengeful spirits of a performance troupe seek new victims as the playhouse reopens.

Joe Leydon

Variety

A spooky and stylish thriller that sustains interest even after it veers from the flamboyantly fantastical to the relatively realistic.

Eventually, even the story sinks under the weight of its forced grandiosity and literal-mindedness.

Like one of its unfortunate acrobats, the movie spins out of control.

While unlikely to challenge the spooky classics of the past, it's a very respectable genre offering from China, even more so given the situation with the anti-horror censors

Rated: 3.5/5

Raymond Yip Wai Man's Phantom of the Theatre has all the easy-to-digest charm of a Disneyland attraction. Also most of the built-in limitations.

It may seem corny to American audiences but it's entertaining and handsome, with a grand sense of design, lavish costumes, and bigger than life emotions, like a lavish, colorful old Hollywood picture with modern special effects.
