This film has a certain charm in my mind, as its the first ever "date
movie" I ever went on. Admittedly, it wasn't at an original screening,
but at a much later screening in the mid 2000's.
The winter caretaker at a lonely retreat carries many themes that many
of us can relate to, the isolation, confusion, lack of a sense of time -
especially through the eyes of a writer. The strangest thing about this
strange tale, is that its probably the most well lit horror film of all
time. Creepy shadows - a mainstay of the genre - are completely non
existent.
