\"Phantom<\/p>\n

What if you asked the guy who wrote The Rainbow Connection<\/a> to compose and record a rock musical combining the stories of Frankenstein<\/em>, Faust<\/em>, The Picture of Dorian Gray<\/em>, and The Phantom of the Opera<\/em>? And then asked him to star as a sleazy record label executive who gets artists to sell their souls to Satan? And that’s just the Paul Williams of it all in this unhinged farce with a soundtrack that slaps. This isn’t a holiday movie per se but it effervesces with a manic spirit perfect for lighting up the longest night of the year.<\/p>\n

Director Brian De Palma is best known for over the top violence in deadly serious films such as Carrie<\/em> (1976), Dressed to Kill<\/em> (1980), and Scarface<\/em> (1983), and Phantom of the Paradise has a body count, too, but here the murder and mayhem is done for laughs in a satire of the pop music industry at the time of its most ludicrous excesses. You’ll go home humming.<\/p>\n
