Psychedelic and atmospheric
I have a special taste for movies from the late '60's and early '70's, and this is becoming one of my favorites. The sets, and the artworks in them, are beautiful. The scenes are genuinely creepy with great use of editing. The story is narrated and reminds me of an H.P. Lovecraft tale. There is a bit of scenery chewing in the acting, but I can overlook that in light of the other things about the film that I love. It's amazing that the screenwriter for this movie went on to write such big blockbusters as American Graffiti and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He should have stuck to this arty stuff instead, but I guess there was less interest in this sort of film after the psychedelic era ended. (A shame, in every sense.)score 10/10
