Adrian Lyne, a director better known for glossy erotic thrillers, made in 1990 one of the most disorienting American horror films of its era by refusing to give the viewer solid ground for almost its entire length. It was a commercial disappointment on release and has since become a cornerstone, its imagery lifted wholesale by video games and imitators who mostly missed why it works.</p>Tue, 10 Sep 2024 08:00:00 +0000
