Reviews

There are some good looking scenes, cast is mostly good (especially Kinski) and there are glimpses of dread but they never fully materialize (like the rat infested Wismar which is somewhat ruined by the poor and theatrical production).

That would only distance the audience from the film, and ruin the close and claustrophobic atmosphere that it had just build up; as well as all the soulless, cold and lonely elements, which truly defines this film.
