Oh, yeah! Is there a stronger word than spooky? I would add disturbing. It stayed with me making me uncomfortable. Harrison Ford out of his genre. Michelle Pfeiffer also stars. The following is part of a review from another reviewer:
“This is the most suspenseful thriller I have seen in the past year. As a refreshing change to more formulaic chillers, WLB takes its time to build the suspense. It is allowed to do this by virtue of Harrison Ford, and, especially, Michelle Pfeiffer, who, I feel, deserved an Oscar nomination for her convincing portrayal of a happy, but suddenly lonely, wife. It is just about as Hitchcockian as you can get, and I rate the bath sequence as gripping (pardon the pun) as taking a shower at the Bates Motel.”
Night of the Hunter/ “Leaning, Leaning, on the Everlasting Arms” Brrrr!
Following is part of a review by a reviewer. Just reading the reviews gives me chills.
“I could barely speak at the end of the film. Pauline Kael called it one of the scariest movies ever made, and she was absolutely right. Robert Mitchum becomes the embodiment of evil, and his pursuit of the children is so relentless, and so menacing, that it becomes impossible to believe that they can escape. The images are brilliant; there's a depth to black and white that colour somehow lacks, and it is used superbly here to create a sense of brooding terror.”
Another reviewer:
“Sleep, Lit'le ones, sleep...”
Please Shogun watch and give me your opinion. I watched Psycho when it first came out on the big screen, 1960, and will not watch it again. Same goes for the other two.
