Review of Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) by Kevin N — 01 Aug 2012

Remarkably haunting, bizarre, and creepy movie that tells a story about a mystical place and its undiscovered mystery. It brings horror to one's mind not with frightening scenes, but with its idea and with its perfectly hidden meaning.

Starting with a bit of sexual tension, passing through with a distressing peacefulness and tranquility, it ends up without any clues that will serve as potential answers. No one knows what happens in this strange, pagan-cursed, evil place, and what really persuaded the girls to explore those mythical rock formations and led them somewhere beyond our imaginations.
