I watched the 1989 Robert Englund version of The Phantom of the Opera.
Two words: Gory and disturbing. And I loved every minute of it!
I was tryng to find out where people got the last name Destler for Erik Destler since it was never in the book. It was from the 1989 version.
It starts out with a sophomore or junior at Julliard who is auditioning for an opera in Manhattan. This is Christine Day. She goes through the music library looking for something fresh, and she comes across a sort of lullaby called "Don Juan Triumphant" by Erik Destler. When they try to find footnotes, they find out that he was a murderer and kidnapped a young opera singer he was obsessed with. After her best friend Meg's persuasion, she agrees to do the song.
In the middle of her audition, a sandbag falls on her, and she awakens 100 years earlier by a different Meg. One of my first questions was, "Does she not notice she's in a different time period, or is she thinking that, but unable to do anything? Is she just reliving the past?"
Instead of the usual France, this takes place in London, and Christine Day is an American who is playing one of the minor roles, but is also Carlotta's understudy. They are performing Faust, however.
When Carlotta goes into her closet after a bath, she finds a skinned Joseph no-last-name in her closet and screams so much she loses her voice. Five guesses who skinned him. Christine gets to play Marguirite in Faust, but ends up getting a bad review. He is skinned, too.
I won't tell any more, you're just going to have to watch it for yourself. But warning: it does have some sensuality, only one part had nudity (don't worry, it wasn't that much. Sorry, Mom. It was an accident. And it wasn't huge, gigantic nudity, thank goodness), language (not the f*** word), extreme gore (such as Carlotta's head in a bowl of soup. Oops!), violence, and murder. If this wasn't rated R, then the rating people are messed up. But the question I was asking Mom at the end was "How many times do you have to kill the guy?"
