Review of The Spiral

The Spiral (1978)
1/10
Why do they bother?
27 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The main character of this film has serious psychological problems which make him thoroughly objectionable and unattractive. There is no storyline. The first half of the film consists of him being rude and offensive to many of the people staying at a mountain resort the night before he leaves to go into he mountains to die. Incredibly wearing normal clothes he manages to survive a day and a night in the freezing ice and snow having climbed high into the mountains before being rescued. The rest of the film consists of him being rude and ungrateful to the staff at s hospital where he seems to have spent over s year where he eventually commits suicide or accidentally falls from a window ledge. You are left wondering why anyone would make such a dull slow and pointless film with a central character for whom it is impossible to feel any sympathy. A complete waste of an hour and a half
