Summary: A completely new twist on the story with a normal looking phantom, who was raised by rats since he was a baby. It’s very much a cult horror flick of the director’s personal style.

REVIEWS
JOANNA PHANTOM’S REVIEW 1 STAR
This is by far the worst Phantom movie ever. All I’m going to say is why rats?
ICEHEART’S REVIEW 1 STAR
This really shouldn’t be a Phantom movie. It really twists the plot so much that you can’t recognize the story. Christine behave more like a little *earmuff small children * whore. The managers aren’t funny, they’re perverts. And the phantom doesn’t need to be deformed, just needs to fire his hairdresser.
