Review of Hour of the Wolf (1968) by Eduardo C — 07 Jan 2010
Ingmar Bergman's only horror film is not only one of his most unusual works, but one of his most satisfying and engrossing. His trademark bleak imagery (as well as excellent black and white cinematography by Sven Nykvist) and brooding atmosphere is perfect perfectly with this surreal, darkly comic portrait of madness.
I've found many of Bergman's other films to be plodding and pretentious, but this one somehow avoids most of his usual excesses and is easily one of his best.
