- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 12, 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.
- David DanielAugust 8, 2026Fritz Lang's first sound film is the Rosetta Stone for thrillers, a masterpiece of German expressionism, of special interest since the film is a product of pre-fascist Germany
- Chris KempthorneJune 10, 2026I can see the brilliance. Unfortunately, I just don't appreciate it the way many seem to. I struggled watching this. It took several viewings over many days to complete it. I had a hard time focusing and giving it the necessary attention. That was a me issue of not a movie issue. There is much to love...but it isn't perfect.
