one of the cornerstone of low budget cinema be take a well know and classic storyline and make a complete bastardization out of it . phantom of the mall be no exception to this rule . the screenwriter take the endure phantom of the opera storyline and move it into a late 80 shopping mall . however and the phantom goal now be simply to get revenge upon those responsible for disfigure his face and murder his family . the special effect do provide a good chuckle and especially when body part begin appear in dish from the yogurt stand . pauly shore have a small role which do not allow him to be a fully obnoxious a one would expect and mostly due to the fact that his fifteen minute of mtv fame have not yet arrive . if youre look for a few good laugh at the expense of the actor and special effect crew and check this flick out . otherwise and keep on look for something else .
