M Ratings & Reviews
- Elliot04711 January 2026A study in a crime thriller cinema. Excellent.
- ujjwaldx4 January 2026Despite being released in the 30s, this Film shook the whole world. An absolute epitome of pure filmmaking.
- Rowan Krzysiak12 February 2025An intriguing watch that flicks a switch to become something that's vital to see. The final scene had my mouth gaped open throughout. Rarely have I seen something so powerful and ripe for debate. I can't shake the sight of Peter Lorre's eyes and sweat. "I haven't any control over this evil thing that's inside of me! The fire, the voices, the torment!” Highly recommended.
