Michael Douglas in his element as the proverbial frog in a pot of boiling water. Interesting, intense, yet lacking the depth to excuse its overly reliance on cartoonish characters. 10/10 for Yaphet Kotto .

Tense, and surprisingly multilayered, And Soon the Darkness keeps you guessing until the very end and long after. Thanks to the claustrophobic storytelling and my rusty school-french I only half-understood half of the sparse dialogue, which really added to the constant guessing and doubting any character's motivation.

Wonderful proof that to make a great movie, you don't need a lot.

4/5

Ken Russell directs Heavenly Creatures with set design by Peter Greenaway and nuns provided by Coil. An 8/10.
