And a solid review praising the film. If you have read many Roger Ebert reviews, do you agree?

I TTLY agree! He would have loved the pervasive mood achieved thru the excellent soundtrack, cinematography & editing! I MISS Ebert??

Ebert was the best film critic.

I particularly like his literary approach. He did learn something from his failed English Doctorates attempt.

3 for the soundtrack and some shots.

Ebert did have a tendency to give four-star ratings to just about any superior (and sometimes not-so-superior) movie of spectacle. And he definitely preferred atmospheric horror to gore flicks. But sometimes he surprised me; he gave only three stars to The Sixth Sense, for example.

Sounds about right.

Ebert had a soft spot for B movie trash and exploitation, so yes...he would've loved this movie. Siskel, not so much.
