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.

Monsieur Hire (1989)

Director: Patrice Lacounte

Premise:
A woman is murdered and the police's main suspect is a strange man the neighborhood doesn't seem to like.

My Take:
A quirky tale which dances around horror mainly due to the main character's voyeuristic nature and the grisly murder of a young woman. The main character displays a sympathetic and creepy nature.
The movie is a nicely acted piece with beautiful camera work.

Rating: So Good
