Lauded as China’s first horror film, this loose adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera fuses left-wing politics with the tropes of Hollywood horror to brilliant effect. In a crumbling old theatre, a visiting opera troupe discover a catatonic woman who is entranced by the haunting voice of an unseen singer, a once-famous opera star who was tortured and hideously disfigured over his love for the woman who now thinks him dead. A visual treat – it’s beautifully rendered in gothic black and white – this is a fantastically unusual take on a classic tale, a great mixture of horror film, propaganda piece and musical.
