Laura S Oct 1 Weird as hell, but pretty interesting See more 06/04/2018 Beautiful work of Art a dreamlike voyage beyond time and space--Mesmerizing and Unique!! See more 06/04/2018 Harry Kumel's fantasy is certainly one of the strangest movies ever made, an entertaining oddity that must be seen to be believed. See more 06/04/2018 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). See more 06/04/2018 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. See more 06/04/2018 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.
