I might be the only person on this site who loves both _Cannibal Holocaust_ and Paul Williams. So, as a huge Paul Williams fan, the songs in _Phantom of the Paradise_ really struck a chord with me, as did the 70s vibe.

As for the rest? Even at his best DePalma borders on kitsch, and indie-DePalma falls indie kitsch vat and what he drags out of it doesn't smell too good. Not to menton the atrocious song dubbing... Let's just say I can only name 3 rock musical horror comedies and this is my second favorite (between _Rocky Horror_ and _Little Shop of Horrors_).

Still, the soulful songs, Paul Williams and the big screen premiere of the wonderful **Jessica Harper** (who would go on to star in 1977's _Suspira_) makes this film a recommend.

And if you can't handle me at my _Cannibal Holocaust_, you don't deserve me at my Paul Williams.
