Lon Chaney, the man of a thousand faces, was best known for playing Quasimodo and the Phantom of the Opera. But the former role was clearly the most ambitious of his illustrious career, full of such longing and anguish. It's as though his entire being was consumed by this ugly outcast with a heart as big and beautiful as Notre Dame itself. And the makeup is still astonishing. The rest of this unrequited love story is pretty effective as well, with the re-creation of medieval Paris a standout for its lavishness. Like all great silent films, it delivers a poetry of life that is abstract and tangible at the same time. --Bill Desowitz

I've attempted over the years to watch the Hunchback of Notre Dame in it's entirety, but never quite made it until I finally ordered the dvd. I really enjoyed this movie even though it appears to be scratchy. I recommend this dvd to old school horror fans. It's worth buying.

Lon Chaney is amazing in this adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He shines in his portrayal of the abused character and his stunning portrayal is magical, from the haunting expression in his eyes when he first beholds the beautiful Esmerelda to the fear that radiates throughout his entire person when he realizes the man that raised him is the most evil of all souls. I would suggest reading the background involved in Chaney's portrayal of the Hunchback to understand the precise research ... Read More

This Lon Chaney classic still reigns supreme as the best and most chilling adaptation of this oft-remade film. Lon Chaney's make up and acting is terrific, and the sets are awesome. This is a must-have for any true fan of horror cinema.

The film is presented tinted and for the first time is presented correctly as this was derived from a recently ... Read More

Deaf and half-blind, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, feared & rejected by the people of Paris, becomes the unlikely protector of a poor gypsy girl.
Lon Chaney, master of disguise, solidified his celebrity with his portrayal of Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer, who is forever cut off from any semblance of a normal life. Although his makeup is certainly horrific, Chaney's role is not really monstrous: he is a lonely human desperately misused by Fate. Chaney's face speaks for him, communicating ... Read More
