Review of The Mephisto Waltz (1971) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 16 May 2017
The Mephisto Waltz, which is inferior to "Rosemary's Baby" on all sorts of fundamental levels like direction, photography and acting, is fatally inferior in its understanding of the supernatural.
If a horror movie is to be taken seriously, it has to pretend to take horror seriously. And this one doesn't.
