Viewing Notes
Grabbed this off the blu-ray shelf at the library since I’ve been wanting to see this since the new releases were announced. What an excellent flick. Love this premise even though I knew how it was going to play out. Oddly this feels like an early blueprint for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, not the novel, but how mental institutions are depicted in film (then again I haven’t seen that movie in decades so I could be off on that). Either way this is a terrific film. Adore Constance Towers.
