Trending Position
85/100 An eccentric couple and a mysterious woman have a proclivity towards potentially dangerous games ...one of which goes very wrong. I've been a huge fan of this film since I first saw it as a teenager. It seems quite tame up until an incredibly sudden and shocking event that turns the whole ... story on end. From that point on, the slow pace accentuates the tension, suspense and bewilderment of what is going on right up until the surprising and fatal twist ending. Easily one of the most underappreciated films of the 60s and a life long favorite. -- DrNostromo.com
