Intro

Impressionable and terrifying films pique my interest. Examples include the bloody elevators or the mountains against the backdrop of horns in the Shining, Robert De Niro’s eyes at the end of Angel Heart, Ellen Burstyn’s debilitating addiction in Requiem for a Dream, the empathy felt for a disturbed Mia Goth in Pearl, the foreboding dread the Guild Navigator gives off in Dune (1984), the soundtrack in The Crow, and the oddly delightful Agent Cooper played by Kyle MacLachlan in Twin Peaks.
