I was not expecting to enjoy this film much, let alone love it! It's more film noir than epic horror, but the stories are certainly creepy, the sets are beautiful facades of reality, giving the whole ordeal a dream (or nightmare) like quality, and the stories themselves are timeless cautionary tales. My one complaint is it's length (it's nearly three hours long), but I don't see how anything could be trimmed out and keep the wonderful pace of the film. Definitely give this a viewing if you like your cinema a strange and eerie.
