Product Description

In fifteenth century Paris, Jehan, the evil brother of the archdeacon, plots with the gypsy king to foment a peasant revolt, which eventually leads to the peasants storming the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Meanwhile, Jehan's slave, a freakish hunchback named Quasimodo, falls in love with the young gypsy queen, Esmeralda, who in turn is in love with Phoebus, a gentleman soldier and a rogue with the ladies. Phoebus's gallant side is awakened by the beautiful peasant girl, and he soon returns her love. Unknown to him, his love is dangerous, because Jehan lusts for Esmeralda and is willing to kill the handsome soldier to possess her. But the hunchback will tolerate no harm coming to her, not even if it comes from his own master.

1.0 out of 5 stars Who's got the hump? 9 July 2006
Format:DVD
Prospective buyers should note that the picture quality on this DVD (the version from Elstree Hill Entertainment) is really quite awful. The film has not been restored properly - it is full of blemishes - and for that reason I found it unwatchable. The one star is for Lon Chaney's memorable characterisation and make-up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic horror 14 May 2007
By S J Buck TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
This classic silent film starring Lon Chaney as the hunchback is well worth getting. Made in the mid 1920's its based on Victor Hugo's classic novel and for a film that is over 80 years old it holds up remarkably well.

You do need to concentrate when watching it as there are quite a few major characters and as there is no dialogue its easy to get confused. Of course there are captions to give you a clue. Chaney's makeup is well done, and apparently took hours every day to put on.

The picture quality for a black and white film from so long ago is reasonable. So long as you don't expect too much, you will get a lot out of this early horror classic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good 20's silent horror 25 Sep 2012
Format:DVD
This movie isn't great or entertaining but it is good. It's definitely not one of the best classic horror films but it's still a good film. The best thing about the movie is Lon Chaney's great acrobatic skills. He's fantastic in the role! (though not as good as Phantom Of The Opera). It can get really, really slow in scenes but Chaney stops it from being to boring. Recommended.
