Overwhelming Blackness

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2016)

Having seen this film when it first came out, I wondered if I would react the same way seeing it again. Well, the answer is I did. This film is one of the most terrifying I've ever seen. Mia Farrow is the innocent woman who moves in with her husband, John Cassevetes. They have a group of neighbors who seem wonderful. They approach her in a kindly fashion. They support her in her day to day life, offering help to her. They feel it is time to have a baby and then the fear starts. One night she has a dream encounter with something that appears to be Satanic. Soon she starts to have cravings that she can't explain and odd things begin to happen in the apartment building. Soon, it is obvious, that the upcoming birth is of great interest to one truly evil people. There is so much more. Suffice it to say, the suspense built up and acted out is exciting.
