Hour of the Wolf (1968). A classic horror flick, Ingmar Bergman style. This incredible psychological thriller is of course not your typical horror flick, but instead forces the viewer to cryptically be instilled with the terror of our central characters. The overall theme is revolves around the liminal psychological line that the genius dances upon. Will he cross the line? Bergman wonderfully portrays a sense of terror here, and the child scene was a masterful example of his brilliance. Sydow and Ulmann are both incredible in their parts, and the supporting cast is just as strong. Everything about this wonderful horror classic shines. Merci beaucoup.
