"Sometimes one has to alter the truth a bit. An author understands that." Erik Skjoldbjærg 's Insomnia (1997) is a cold and calculating, glacially-paced neo-noir featuring a notably dubious protagonist brilliantly brought to life by  Stellan Skarsgård .

Lucio Fulci 's penultimate film, Voices From Beyond (1991), is a supernatural familial murder mystery melodrama featuring occasional trademark macabre/surreal imagery (and good cinematography), amusing dialogue and situations, plenty of random nudity, and a solid score by  Stelvio Cipriani .

Lee Thompson , director of 1962's  Cape Fear ,  The Guns Of Navarone   (1961) [ review ], and two of the '70s  POTA   films, including one of the very best, 1972's  Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes   made this film has  something to do with it. Adam Greenberg 's beautifully lit cinematography and Robert O. Ragland 's top notch score also have something to do with it.

An incredibly stylish, suspenseful, and beautifully shot gothic classic. "It was an evil house from the beginning—a house that was born bad." "The dead are not quiet in Hill House." "In the night. In the dark."  Robert Wise Feature Films Ranked

Jean Rollin 's The Grapes Of Death (1978) is a dreamy, gory, and haunting infection flick with gorgeous locations and some of the better performances of any of Rollin's films. Jean Rollin Feature Films Ranked
