I really enjoyed writing a review for The Phantom of the Opera (1983), so I thought I'd write another review for another Phantom movie I watched today. Today I watched Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge (1989), directed by Richard Friedman, Eric played by Derek Rydall. My rating is 2/5, and the movie sits at 11/13 on my Phantom list.

The story was all over the place and really confusing, and honestly I don't even think I got the whole scope of what was going on. I did however really like Eric - in this one he has a gym in his lair and does martial arts lol (so cute). His origin story is that he and Melody (this story's Christine) used to be boyfriend and girlfriend but he supposedly died from their house burning on fire (which the reason was POORLY explained). The movie was also very sexual, like too many long sex scenes that had to be skipped over lmao.

Sadly, we get almost no time with him and lots of time spent on random characters with little to no resemblance to Phantom characters. They weren't even likable in the slightest. So really the only thing I enjoyed was the tiny amount of Eric we see. I would rather rewatch the 1962 adaptation over this, and that's saying something (but still better than 1943 and Love Never Dies 🤮).

Let me know what you guys think of this movie and if you've ever seen it!

Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge (1989)

"Eric... I'm really sorry. Look, I may have made some mistakes, I said some bad things. I'll eat my words!"

"Eat this."

I've seen a couple of his late 80s horror schlocks and actually this might be #the most competently made‚ but it's also somehow less fun than absolute grade z dreck like Doom Asylum. shot in the same mall as Chopping #Mall‚ this is a Phantom au which doesn't actually make any sense once you start prodding at the plot. also Pauly Shore is in this (seeing #his name in the opening credits was the biggest jump scare of the movie). there's only one element of this that's a hands down win and #that's Mac's dad himself‚ GSC‚ in one of his earliest roles‚ as a karate kicking hitman who apparently works exclusively for this one guy #who's opening a mall (and commits multiple murders to protect the mall). he's incredible‚ all quivering psychosis and leather pants #I'd far rather the whole film had been about his genuinely fascinating and bizarre character but alas he's just a henchman #and thus meets a classic henchman's fate (head snipped off by garbage compactor). honestly a kind of bad film but eh I've seen worse

Adaptation Blues - Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge

[The following essay contains SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera has been adapted to other media so frequently that many of the story’s finer details have been lost in translation; only the broadest strokes of the plot have survived long enough to penetrate the collective unconscious.

Universal’s 1943 version of the tale, for example, reimagines the eponymous specter’s physical disfigurement as a hideous burn scar, rather than a birth defect as in the original novel—a change that has lingered in subsequent reinterpretations, much like Sherlock Holmes’ “iconic” deerstalker cap. The character’s morality is likewise malleable: Hammer Horror’s 1962 film emphasizes his sympathetic qualities to such an extent that he never even commits a single murder, with his misdeeds instead attributed to a mute, hunchbacked accomplice; at the opposite end of the spectrum, Robert Englund portrayed him as a sadistic servant of Satan—an irredeemable, unrepentant serial killer clad in a grotesque mask sculpted from the rotting flesh of his victims.

Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge stretches the premise to its breaking point, retaining only the most superficial elements of the book that inspired it. The conflict, at least, is familiar: a deformed homicidal maniac stalks the shadowy maintenance hallways and comically oversized ventilation ducts of a recently constructed shopping mall—and he is singularly obsessed with our beautiful heroine (mild mannered waitress Melody Austin, an adequate substitute for singer Christine Daaé—though the lead vocalist in a local garage band would probably have been a more appropriate analogue). That, however, is the source material’s sole contribution to the narrative; what remains is a rather generic, by the numbers, dime a dozen slasher flick—gory, sleazy, and utterly disposable.

Which isn’t to say that the movie is totally devoid of entertainment value; like Troll 2, The Room, and Miami Connection, its unintentionally absurd tone is sure to appeal to devoted connoisseurs of trash cinema. If nothing else, it's delightfully nostalgic: Sam Goody features prominently in the background of several shots, a pre-fame Pauly Shore performs an excruciatingly awkward striptease, and the excessively abundant action scenes contain enough roundhouse kicks to rival Chuck Norris' entire body of work.

And that is Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge in a nutshell: a misguided “modernization” that was hilariously dated from the very moment of its release.
