Das Megaplex-Phantom (TV Movie 2000)

Das Megaplex-Phantom: Directed by Blair Treu. With Taylor Handley, Corinne Bohrer, Caitlin Wachs, Jacob Smith. A young man working at a cinema on a special premiere night, finds that the films being shown are full of strange and eerie occurrences.

“I really enjoyed this movie back when it came out and am so sad that Disney insists on making new movies every month while completely forgetting their classic older ones, which are much more enjoyable than the new cheesy ones. The plot is simple enough: A big movieplex is playing home to a huge Hollywood premier. They are still showing films (a little odd) right up until the second of the premier, but someone (a mysterious phantom…) is thwarting everything and causing general mayhem. Who is this phantom? Why is he doing this? A cute film that is predictable but plays out well, the characters are good and relatable to everyone. This film seems to have really captured what it is like working in a theater, which I am now thinking twice about doing. I loved the contemporary take on Phantom of the Opera as well. I wish they would show this more on Disney, it really is a great movie for everyone of all ages. The footage from the original Phantom movie was a nice touch.”
