Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views in love with the past and emulates the aesthetic and visual style of Seventies movies while wisely reminding viewers that this movie is set in the present. If you too are a fan of that era’s style, see it.

Rated: 3.25/5 Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Gregory Nussen Screen Rant This adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Oval Portrait captures the story's gothic horror atmosphere and old Hollywood charm, despite some issues.
