by metalluk - Top 100, Oct 04 '05
Pros: Skillfully crafted script; highly atmospheric settings in Gothic Venice; Donald Sutherland; chilling cinematography
Cons: Slow at times; Julie Christie's passionless performance; promotion of irrationality
Here's a classic psychological thriller, from talented English director Nicolas Roeg. Historical Background: Nicolas Roeg is one of the most undervalued directors in cinema. Born December 15th, 1928, in London, Roeg developed an interest in ...

Pros: Creepy and haunting look at the aftermath of a tragedy ...
Cons: If you can just stay with it (the pacing is a little slow at times) ...
Author’s note: I am but a humble participant in this write off with four of my favorite reviewers here, so if you read only one review, make it mine (kidding!). Seriously though, please be sure to check out the eloquent stylings of ZentropaJK,...

Pros: Beautifully shot, decent performance from Donald Sutherland Cons: I know this sounds dickheaded but I truly mean it when I say everything else.
Like many out there, I had heard nothing but rave reviews for this so-called fantastic supernatural thriller and was anxious when I finally got my hands on it. However, once I had finished watching it, my jaw dropped to the floor and found myself ...

Pros: compelling, breathtaking (and not because of scenery), imaginative, and I could keep going...
Cons: NOT A THING!!!
This review is part of a write off (my first!) between myself, Mike_Bracken, ZentropaJK, Mangiotto, and Psychovant so I encourage everyone reading this who has not already read theirs’ to please do so.
To do this film justice I am...

Pros: First-rate performances, inventive editing, terrific photograpy
Cons: The movie falters at its first vital moment, and descends into silliness in its last.

Pros: A thinking-man’s thriller, excellent script and performances. Absolutely gorgeous direction, editing, and cinematography.

Pros: Intelligent, spooky, surreal, great cinematography
Cons: a bit dated
The recent box-office obsession with "ghost movies" (The Sixth Sense,Stir of Echoes, etc.) will hopefully encourage modern audiences to seek out some of the earlier "supernatural" classics, most of which are still...

Pros: Beautiful, atmospheric, well-acted
Cons: Meandering and directionless, nonsensical
A triumph of form over substance ...
I've now watched this film twice in the past week. I was afraid that I missed something the first time through -- after all, virtually all of the reviews I have read of this film are extremely laudatory,...

Pros: acting, directing, story.
Cons: nothing.
Here's one movie you won't forget anytime soon... It is a very strange and different kind of story with an amazing direction. The color red is omnipresent and it represents bad things... Everytime you see it, something bad happens.
The movie...

Pros: Supernatural thrills
Cons: Seventies costumes
When I watched this film for the first time I was alone and genuinely a little spooked by the story which concerns a couple recovering from the death of their child.
Nic Roeg's 1973 film is a masterpiece - there is no other way about it.
It is...
