    This is horror rooted not in misty Carpathian castles, but in recognisable modern life, with the satanists depicted not as outlandish fiends but the sort of everyday folk you might encounter on any urban street. show more

    The brilliance of the film comes more from Polanski's direction, and from a series of genuinely inspired performances, than from the original story. show more
