Exquisite black and white cinematography, flawless dubbing, superb casting, fairly logical scripting, deliberate pacing and a surprise (though totally appropriate) ending set this one apart. | 1 |
and a wickedly ironic ending. | 1 |
Steele is an icon of horror films and an otherworldly beauty, and the views of the walking dead pre-date Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD shamblers, unifying them in my mind. | 1 |
The relationship between Hardcastle and McCormick is quite amusing. | 1 |
I was so hooked that I also purchased the second season as a companion, and I enjoyed it equally. | 1 |
Lovely period piece capturing 1962. | 1 |
Clearly a small-budget production, this is still a sweet little film, filled with the magic that Sunday Matinees were made of. | 1 |
Whatever you call it, it remains a sharply satisfying thriller. | 1 |
Thrillers about people being held in a house against their will always make me a little uneasy--I end up feeling like a prisoner too--but this rather classy B-film is neither lurid nor claustrophobic. | 1 |
There are other examples of how a clever director can elevate his film to the level of a very enjoyable thriller. | 1 |
Nina Foch delivers a surprisingly strong performance as the title character in this fun little Gothic nail-biter. | 1 |
Along with "The Narrow Margin" and "Face Behind the Mask" this is one of the best B pictures ever made. | 1 |
Really tight little woman-in-danger film that keeps the suspense on high throughout. | 1 |
Much of what distinguishes this otherwise modest tale are the indelible touches that Lewis brings to the production, marking it as the first of his truly serious endeavors as a film director. | 1 |
Greatly enjoyed this 1945 mystery thriller film about a young woman, Nina Foch,(Julia Ross) who is out of work and has fallen behind in her rent and is desperate to find work. | 1 |
It has a wonderful plot and backed up by Nina Foch, George MacReady and Dame May Witty, as a female villain, of all people. | 1 |
Nevertheless, I recommend it. | 1 |
That is the thrill and charm of film noir, the real film noir: It is small, convincingly lowlife, and, in this case, unforgettable. | 1 |
A lovely little B picture with all the usual Joe Lewis touches.... | 1 |
It is a powerful and memorable moment. | 1 |
America's obsession with its postwar cultural icons and mores; the obsessions of the protagonists for something none can have: peace-of-mind andor happiness. | 1 |
Good performances and a very interesting job of directing make this a challenging and visually thought provoking film. | 1 |
But I think it's excellent. | 1 |
It probably was originally a play, and that's why it's dialogue heavy, but I can't stress enough how these icons that we only have a shallow understand of are made into truly complex and wonderful characters. | 1 |
A memorably striking, fresh and tour de force meditation piece of metaphysics linked together by four different extremes. | 1 |
It all goes into the pot, to be boiled down and served up in new and fascinating ways. | 1 |
At times quite excellent, but somewhat lacking overall. | 1 |
The film is loaded with extremely eerie atmosphere and the frights are calculated for and deliver the maximum effect possible. | 1 |
Having said that, there is one particularly terrifying scene that relies on the visual, and it works to perfection. | 1 |
This film has been scaring me since the first day I saw it. | 1 |
Every single element is impeccable, from the set pieces, the acting, the story, to the menacing atmosphere. | 1 |
Bravo to Director Herbert Wise, Writers Susan Hill and Nigel Kneale, top Production design by Jon Bunker, Art Direction by John Ralph and an excellent cast for making me shudder and feel so isolated even though I'm living in one of the most populated cities in the world in the beginning of the 21st Century. | 1 |
Waiting for the woman in black to show up is nail-bitingly suspenseful. | 1 |
This is one of the best Ghost movies ever and it's directed for people that want to get scared. | 1 |
This film is the most profoundly terrifying film I have seen. | 1 |
I think it's still brilliant and fantastically acted and I consider it the greatest ghost story of the last century. | 1 |
The guy who plays the hotel manager is so believable, and really fills the role well. | 1 |
The end of the movie differs to the book, but still very good. | 1 |
The story unfolds slowly, building atmosphere all the way until you're ready to see the woman in black. | 1 |
I saw this on TV so long ago that I can't remember when it was, but it still stands out as one of the scariest, most unnerving films I've ever seen. | 1 |
This is the scariest movie ever made! | 1 |
This is just an extraordinary film that I think should rate as one the finest horror films ever made. | 1 |
It's remarkable that other viewers' feelings are so unanimous. | 1 |
it is the best of it's kind. | 1 |
A superb ghost story, I've never seen anything that can match it and with all the dross thats repeated over and over on TV i cant believe the BBC has deleted it after (to my knowledge) only one showing! | 1 |
Then he brings it all to a ghastly disturbing close. | 1 |
What is amazing though is the power of this film and at uni when watching this with about twenty of my associates I have never heard so many screams, blokes as well! | 1 |
Atmospheric TV adaptation of a famous play by Susan Hill, that spends it first third building up its characters, before moving to the creepy country house, its poor colour contrast give away its TV roots immediately, this really should have been in black & white, but still as a ghost story it had a couple of unsettling moments, still though after waiting so long to see it I must say I was sadly just a little underwhelmed. | 1 |
Nevertheless, for me, I love this British-style of storytelling similar to any of the BBC's "Ghost Story for Christmas" adaptations of the great M.R. James' work. | 1 |
That scene still haunts me to this day, nearly 7 YEARS after I saw the film. | 1 |
This along with "Haunted" are probably two of the best Ghost Stories I've ever scene. | 1 |
This rarity made-for-television feat is a stimulating rich and unsettling supernatural spook-fest. | 1 |
It's scary, suspenseful and so realistic that you can actually see it happening in real life. | 1 |
Yes, a true classic! | 1 |
For me, it places itself as one of my all time favorites. | 1 |
They kill him off in the film but the whole point is that he is haunted by the events at Eel Marsh House for many years but does remarry and eventually put the events behind him. | 1 |
Melissa plays her role as the psychotic Jennifer excellently. | 1 |
Twisted Desire (1996) was a TV movie starring Melissa Joan Hart. | 1 |
Congrats to her, the movie was very good, I'd definitely watch it again and recommend it to others. | 1 |
Although the film has dated somewhat it stills stands out as some of her best work that involves drama or thriller and i am looking forward to 'Nine Dead' that comes out in November because it shows she can seen as other people that are not called "Clarissa Darling " or Sabrina Spellman"I recommend this film to anyone that is a fan of Melissa Joan Hart or Sabrina. | 1 |
Although is not critically acclaimed (probably because of the supranatural stuff), This is an excellent movie, with a great story and great acting. | 1 |
The acting is excellent. | 1 |
Brilliant adaptation of the novel that made famous the relatives of Chilean President Salvador Allende killed. | 1 |
No other actor or actress seemed to have such a pronounced accent and whilst I have always rated Jeremy Irons as a fine actor, I would not class this film as being one of his best. | 1 |
Clara delivers the movie's spiritual lesson, a great and moving statement set against the terrible happenings in her country. | 1 |
Clara really looks like an Angel in live, and her introduction to the story at the beggining of the film was fantastic, loyal and short. | 1 |
This movie is an incredible piece of work. | 1 |
But as a movie telling a touching story - the story of a family, the rise and fall of a man, the deep compassion of a woman, the strength of love and the insanity of hate (and conservatism) - this movie is simply splendid! | 1 |
It's a compelling story, that's interesting from the beginning to the end. | 1 |
great, great movie... | 1 |
Perhaps the best Isabel Allende's book, House of the Spirits describes an alternative chilean history, this one full of magic, a mystic veil, plus some kind of omnipresent sadness. | 1 |
And this something was the most important part. | 1 |
Full of profound emotions from every angle. | 1 |
It's an excellent story and the actors in the movie are some of the best. | 1 |
I think it's one of the greatest movies which are ever made, and I've seen many... | 1 |
It is in fact so good that it reminded me on more than one occasion of the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Predator. | 1 |
The forestry setting and particularly the camouflaged booby traps are joyously spectacular. | 1 |
Nothing new, just well acted, fast paced and some pretty ladies. | 1 |
Antonio de Anda's slick, agile cinematography, the breathtaking sylvan scenery, Pedro Plascencia's robust, shuddery, stirring score, the well-developed characters, and the pleasingly tight'n'trim 76 minute running time further enhance the overall sound quality of this bang-up horroraction hybrid winner. | 1 |
Highly recommended. | 1 |
A great documentary of a very talented and well-loved artist. | 1 |
But with animated and other documentary film material it adds up to a really good and insightful portrait of one of the 20th centuries' most appreciated literary artists - Georges Remy a.k.a Hergé. | 1 |
But the fantastic world that came of his imagination will continue to amaze readers again and again. | 1 |
I'ts so brilliant and a very cool production. | 1 |
Brilliantly edited, very cinematic and fast paced enough to not get boring. | 1 |
This movie catches up with Sadoul today as he recalls the interview, while we listen to the cassettes (Herge died in 1983) and see some old photos and footage of the man himself. | 1 |
Awesome sweeping views of various comic pages and surreal images of Herge's dreams. | 1 |
This is a excellent start to the film career of Mickey Rooney. | 1 |
He is the glue that holds everything together. | 1 |
Jane Austen's Emma is an extremely enjoyable story at the worst of times and this production of the story is the best I have ever seen. | 1 |
Davies is a master at adapting Austen for filming, and the production values here are very good. | 1 |
This production is, in short, a great achievement and one to view many times with increasing pleasure. | 1 |
In general I thought the attitude and the atmosphere of the production conveyed the charm of the novel exceedingly well; indeed it is one of the sweetest, merriest things I have ever seen, rather in the nature of a Christmas treat. | 1 |
Anyway, both versions are good,but anyone that loved Austen's books, should watch this movie. | 1 |
This has long been one of my favourite adaptations of an Austen novel. | 1 |
I have seen it many times and am always looking forward to seeing it again. | 1 |
It has taken me a while to watch this version as unfortunately I don't seem to be able to rent it in the video store, only the other version but I fell in love with it. | 1 |
She is wonderful. | 1 |
It's worth watching to find out how. | 1 |
Costume drama, however, is generally something that British television does well, and this version can certainly hold its own with the cinema version; both are entertaining and well-made versions of Austen's novel. | 1 |
