Samantha Lang's Australian rural gothic, which premiered in the 1997 Cannes Film Festival, offers a few twists but id ultimately frustrating and pretentious due to Laura Jones' enigmatic and undernourished script.

Rated: C

Obviously, this is a must see for fans of Welles, but any film buff would certainly dig this doc.

The Well wins points for its creative use of filters and silence... but those looking for a real creepshow will probably be left wanting.

Rated: 3/5

Odd mix of characters, but Pamela Rabe is brilliant. Otto's character is annoying, but Otto holds her own in keeping her that way. Leaves a few things unanswered, but worth the ride.
