CGiii Comment

Bergman's only horror film and it is a horror...albeit a little creepy in an incoherent way.

Tormented artist goes mad - sees homosexuals and old women...not exactly terrifying!

The(ir) Blurb...

An artist in crisis is haunted by nightmares from the past in Ingmar Bergman's only horror film, which takes place on a windy island. During "the hour of the wolf" - between midnight and dawn - he tells his wife about his most painful memories.
