![]() ![]() The encounter is the first of increasingly bizarre experiences that John, his wife, and sister-in-law, Jennifer have, after renting the house with yellow wallpaper. ![]() John encounters a rat-killing couple on a bicycle ride into town. The sound track has a threatening undertone. A few sequences are of a bleak landscape separating the house from town. ![]() Most of the scenes are outside or within a 100-year old haunted house. Yet, there is a discomforting eerie quality that builds as the film progresses. The camera reveals scenes with a languid, sensuality.

This is a film for those who appreciate the slow build up to terror of a classic Gothic ghost story. It is not for those who need action-packed adrenaline stoking from beginning to end. ![]()
