So basically what we have here is Phantom of the Opera meets Faust by way of 1970s excess. Director Brian de Palma - who is probably best known for his bloody epics Carrie and Scarface - also wrote the script, and he fully commits to the melodramatic goth-rock-opera feel of the film. He's ably assisted by Paul Williams as amiable sociopath Swan (amusingly, Williams also provides the singing voice for sort-of-hero Winslow). I'm also a fan of the debuting Jessica Harper, who does her own singing and who starred in the Rocky Horror sequel, Shock Treatment. I first saw this film on VHS around 20 years ago, and it's stuck with me all that time. While its mix of melodrama and black comedy won't be for all audiences, if you found any of the above intriguing at all, you should check it out.
