      JJ H If you love a film that makes up in creativity what it lacks in budget, this one is a gem. In black & white, the direction and cinematography really capture the foggy, windy atmosphere of a California beach. It's not all sunshine! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review Jack P Low budget but deeply powerful & atmospheric horror-romance about two lonely young people. Come for the vibes, stay for the immutability of your destiny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/21 Full Review william k Interesting, but ultimately disappointing phantasmagorical tale is successful creating a mysterious, dream-like atmosphere hinting at more than it delivers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Just awesome. I can see why this is soo highly regarded as a horror classic. You can see it's influence all throughout the genre. It's a tragic tale, and it's excellently done. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/20 Full Review Audience Member Frustrating ~ Blobbo keep waiting Hopper learn to act. No such luck. This just boring-bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Splendidly cheesy / has excellent posters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Harrington, who would go on to be known as an ideological successor of George Cukor due to his ability to work with a host of egotistical divas throughout his exciting career, proved to possess an exciting flair for genre even from this first effort. Nov 12, 2020 Full Review Eve Tushnet Patheos The dialogue is perfunctory, and both Hopper and his love interest seem to drop each line with a clunk... Oct 23, 2020 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore This mythological horror explores how far a person will go to ensure they remain connected to those for whom they care deeply, even to wildly unhealthy and dangerous lengths. Rated: 4/5 May 1, 2019 Full Review Christopher Long Movie Metropolis The film is so deftly crafted ... that the creaks in the screenplay don't show too glaringly.
