Review of Repulsion (1965) by James C — 28 Jun 2016

Roman Polanski flick that is generally highly regarded in the horror/thriller camps. The movie revolves around a young woman Carol who lives with her sister but is very shy and unsociable. The movie is very slow but because of how the movie was shot I can kind of understand why people liked, especially back in 1965 when it was released. As the movie plods along we come to realize that Carol has some past trauma that has made her the way she is and by the end of the film you come to realize what it was that happened. Problem is for me the movie doesnt really hold up and much of it doesnt make sense as there is no real way to distinguish reality from fantasy.

4/10.
