Reviews from film clubs
Vermilion45 (The 5 Dollar Bin), 8.75/10: Almost 30 years later and a statement to less is more during decades where the opposite seemed to be mainstream with visual effects ramping up and visceral films such as Saw coming to the forefront. I don't know what else can be said about it at this point, movies are a visual spectrum but this one builds upon what you can't see, and very few have done it so well.
