If The Picture of Dorian Gray hit the spot, these will too

Contemplative and dread-soaked in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 1960s, in a different era of the craft

The same mix in both: unease, then dream logic

Drama built on stillness, twice over

Dread-soaked horror in both cases

Both lean on unease more than on fantasy
The difference: Played as mystery first

Dreamlike drama, and it commits to that

Horror with a pulse of dread, in both cases
The difference: Lighter on stillness

Unsettling fantasy in both cases
The difference: Goes its own way on the stillness

Horror with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases

The fantasy is handled with the same confidence

Both are horror through and through

Different title, same corner of the shelf
