Deep within a haunted London theatre, Eve, a gifted composer concealing her identity behind a mask, secretly orchestrates the meteoric rise of ambitious young actor Christian. As their collaboration blossoms into obsession, Victor, the theatre's formidable and possessive director, fights desperately to keep long-buried secrets from surfacing. Reimagining Gaston Leroux's classic gothic novel through a contemporary female perspective, the film weaves love, jealousy and betrayal into a haunted backstage world where ambition and obsession collide. A confidently mounted gothic romance that finds fresh angles in its female-centred reworking of a familiar tale, even where its heavy atmosphere occasionally overwhelms its central mystery.
