The Company of Wolves (1984)
Queen of Gothic
Here is a complex but not confusing film of related stories set within a marvelously atmospheric dream, within the less orderly dreams of a young girl in a modern setting. The movie is sensual, sometimes gory, yet always beautiful, and has a grand haunting romance. There are not really any other films like this. This is a film about the sublime. It is not a horror film as much as it is a Gothic, written by a professional writer with a gift for the marvelous. Seldom does a gifted writer's vision come to light in fantasy (or horror), almost never a living author with real talent. She did not get another chance, but she left something with the one she had.
Quest (1984)
A Standout Imaginative Film
Quest is imaginative and surreal. The fantastic premise of the film is laid out efficiently, effectively, and stylishly. This is an outlandishly fantastic film thoughtfully made with consistent atmosphere of awe such that few fantastic feature films can boast. This is a must-see movie for lovers of the beautiful unreal.
