Id never heard of the film until my dad gifted me a copy of movies first DVD release.
He told me I would love it, andas usualhe was correct.
But, for me, I couldnt fathom how anyone could even consider touching the film.

And then, of course, theresDavid Bowie.
The iconic artists elaborate performance as the Goblin King is what makes the movie so rewatchable.

It may have failed in theaters, but Gareth the Goblin King lives on in pop culture.
Anytime the idea appeared in the news, I loathed the notion, until Robert Eggers became involved.

Perhaps an unlikely example comes from the iconiclive deliciously scene inThe Witch.
Even their simplest scenes are filled with an innate intensity.
I used to look forward to those sequences the most.
