Watched most of this with my mouth hanging open. There's some of the atmospheric dread of Carnival of Souls here, but it's also laced with a uniquely morbid comedy - I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. The editing is *insanely* good, especially some mind-blowing match cuts that take a while to get your head around. Would emphatically recommend!

Takes the skeleton of All That Heaven Allows, but dresses it up totally differently, to quietly magnificent effect. It's in those static shots, that linger -brilliantly - just a little too long, that Fassbinder's attack on prejudice hits home the hardest.

I think the reason Edgar Wright has already achieved cult status is that his films, like all great cult films, are insanely re-watchable. I can't tell if it's his hilarious scripting or that stylish editing or just the density of wit... but what I do know: I watched Hot Fuzz for the squillionth time less than a week ago and I'd happily watch it again right now.
