    ★★★★ Added

    A truly eery film in the best sense. Ken Russell manages to blend old with new in this incredible adaptation of Aldous Huxley's The Devils of Loudun. Oliver Reed is captivating and Vanessa Redgrave's performance sent shivers down my spine. The soundtrack adds to the progressive feeling of dread and Ken Russell's direction adds to this.

  • The Prestige 2006

    ★★★★ Watched 12 Jul, 2012 2
