The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Keyhole (2011)

Starring: Jason Patric, Isabella Rosallini, Udo Kier,
Director: Guy Maddin

Premise:
A gangster returns home where his crew waits. He has one thing in mind, to find his wife and make up for past sins.

My Take:
Guy Maddin is a definite auteur. His movies have a unique look and feel. I enjoyed this one more than most.
It's a disjointed mystery tale with several layers and each room of the house representing some sort of emotion turmoil. There is also great imagery.

Rating: In the middle (but if you're a fan of the director you will really enjoy it)
