A slowly building gothic nightmare, the film is distinguished by an oppressive atmosphere that develops with a slow but inexorable pace.

Carpenter creates a claustrophobic and unhealthy atmosphere, in which the tension grows inexorably. The masterful use of shots and the soundtrack – composed by Carpenter himself – contribute to creating a sense of constant menace. The dark... Read More |

My only complaint about this one is that it didn’t run long enough and ended too abruptly. I wanted more. This movie runs along a similar vein as Thanatomorphose where a young girl becomes infected with a virus and her body begins to fall apart. |
