Phantom of the Opera(not that one) Movie Review

 I'm writing a review for another one of my favorite Cult Classics, and it's called "The Phantom of the Opera" starring Robert Englund! If you have not heard of this movie it's no surprise. This is a pretty underground film. It came out in 1989 and starred Robert Englund as "The Phantom". This movie although unknown is my favorite depiction of The Phantom of the Opera. It lacks the music that the musical version we all know has (yes it still has some music, just not as much). This movie is definitely

a lot more bloody than the original and it takes place in London instead of Paris. The unnamed phantom has sold his soul to the Devil so that he can be loved for his music, of course that is all he will be loved for. When he sold his soul to the devil he became horribly disfigured and he created a mask of human skin from his victims so he may appear normal. Enter the beautiful young singer Christine, he is in love with her Voice, her voice is perfect for his music. His obsession leads him to murder many all for her and all very bloody messy ways. Although this film is not the traditional Phantom of the Opera it's one of the best. I highly recommend it. Once again five out of five stars.

Edge of Sanity movie review

 My first movie review!

   For this week, I decided to choose one of my favorite cult movies from the '80s.  Edge of Sanity, starring Anthony Perkins (who also stole my heart in Psycho) This wonderful film, which was released in 1989 and directed by Gérard Kikoïne. It is supposed to be set in the Victorian age, yet, because of some of the language and clothing, its very obviously an '80s movie. However, this movie is still a wonderfully unique film.

   Combining the stories of Jekyll and Hyde and Jack the Ripper to create one unique story!  It focuses  on Doctor Henry Jekyll (Anthony Perkins) who has a new numbing agent for surgeries; however, an accident causes his new numbing agent to mix with other chemicals, creating cocaine!

 Of course he inhales a lot of the smoke, and thus becomes the monster known as Jack Hyde (aka Jack the Ripper). He stalks the prostitutes of London while consistently smoking cocaine throughout the film. This movie(although its cheesy at times) continues to please and entertain the audience. I highly recommend it and rate this film 5 out of 5 stars.
