Buried underneath the cheap look, and wholesale borrowing of Neil Gaiman's Sandman-esque mythos is a simple, but not unaffecting fairy tale. I had a hard time getting into it, but once in, I was actually moved by the story and the sheer audacity it took to make a film on this scope for such a small budget. It's for fans of Del Toro, Barker and Gaiman. If you don't dig these guys, you'll likely not enjoy the film at all. 6/10

Thérèse Raquin (1953)
A mostly interesting noir-ish drama by Marcel Carné, based on the novel by Émile Zola. However, for being based on a novel by a naturalist author and adapted by a director known for realism, it's such a movie. There are way too many unrealistic literary devices at play here to really be drawn in, but the film is still held together by some excellent performances (especially by Simone Signoret) and some truly wonderful sequences. Worth a watch.
