The current rate is totally unfair ;it's Roman Polanski meets Gothic psychological drama ; as soon as she's on the place ,one suspects that Hannah is not the perfect educated secretary devoted to a cantankerous boss :cracks soon appear in the mirror (the jig saw puzzle, the door , the editor who would be away )
Conti and Hannah play cat and mouse in a forbidding house , a lethal game: Conti is really scary ,but his eyes-less face is the only terrifying element ,there's no gore or special effects which mar contemporary horror movies .Matching him every step of the way is Hannah's sly treacherous performance ;till the very end ,one cannot guess why she begins to torture (in a sweet way ) ;and the unexpected end won't disappoint you , revealing another aspect of the scholar's elusive personality .
Unless the cook counts,there're only two characters on the stage (Simon McCorkindale ("death on the Nile" ) only appears in one scene ) , but fear of darkness,claustrophobia, and the dark side of the soul make up for it ! Don't miss Conti 's final words!
