Poge6| |October 22, 1982| HnBBHBMHHHHHIIHPEUX for his revenge and finally his grisly end. The story (a cheeky rework of Phantom at the Opera) stands up well as a period piece and is hugely enjoyable as such. Price's tones are suitably Shakespearian and Phyllis Kirk scurries away from the mysterious figure in black with commendable haste, but melodrama occasionally degenerates into farce. On the whole the film is a remarkable achievement— even more so considering that the director was blind in one eye and could never appreciate the 3-D process itself. This process is used well (especially when a streetcaller advertising the waxworks bats elasticated balls into the audience) and is more effective than later efforts such as Parasite or Dynasty. As it is filmed in 'color' (sorry!) it also beats other 3-D favourites like It Came From Outer Space. If you've never seen a 3-D film, then this is the one to try. But a word of advice.
