A masterpiece of the horror genre

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2003)

An absolutely wonderful film in many respects: acting, set design, music, story line etc. Horror at its best. Weaver is stunning. The lack of establishment shots creates a horrific disorientation and claustraphobic effect which reminds me of Carl Dreyer's Vampyr and to a lesser extent Hitchcock's Lifeboat. Certain to top my list as one of the greatest of the genre.
