Audience Member Beautiful work of Art a dreamlike voyage beyond time and space--Mesmerizing and Unique!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Harry Kumel's fantasy is certainly one of the strangest movies ever made, an entertaining oddity that must be seen to be believed. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Un veritable film d'ambiance, pesant et etrange ! L'atmosphere irreelle developpee par le realisateur nous happe vraiment et donne tout son charme a cette adaptation du livre de Jean Ray. Au niveau des acteurs,en plus de l'excellent Orson Welles, on peut noter les apparitions de Sylvie Vartan et, tres breve, de Johnny Hallyday (surprenant, non ? Oo). Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the weirdest and best haunted house movies out there. Think Hammer Horror as realized by Wojciech Has. It also has Orson Welles in it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A sailor is taken to Malpertuis, a strange estate ruled by a sickly Cassavius (Orson Welles) from his bed; when Cassavius dies, the odd provisions of his will prod the bizarre residents into conflict. A collection of sometimes brilliant scenes that appears to be building to some kind of mystical revelation, but always pulls back just when things start to get interesting, and ends with a frustrating "dream inside a dream" climax. It was a flop that cut Harry Kumel's promising directorial career short; he claims that the problem was editorial butchering by United Artists, but the 120 minute director's cut is unsatisfying on its own. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member C'est comme le livre : intriguant, mysterieux et pesant. Mais c'est aussi assez moche et tres mal joue. L'oeuvre de Jean Ray de meritait pas ca... Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
