Born into the murky sewer waters below the theater stalks a man/monster raised by creatures of the underworld. This Phantom's dark and grotesque life is shattered when he becomes obsessed with a beautiful young singer, seducing her with his chilling but exotic presence. (official distributor synopsis)

This is definitely the worst adaptation I've seen so far, and I think I've seen quite a few, including musicals and even stage plays. Dario Argento excels at gore, but he always does. Here, however, he isn't even able to properly utilize the musical aspect, and I thought he would manage that in a film like this. It’s an incredibly sloppy film, where by the end I wasn't even paying attention to the action. ()
