Repulsion - Repulsion sits comfortably in my top ten films of all time, there are two films that have managed to frighten me as an adult, one is Lynch's 'Inland Empire' the other is 'Repulsion'. The direction is masterful and after a couple of viewings, little things take on more importance, I still think there's something 'off' in the family photo and I'm still undecided if Carole's psychosis is down to sexual repression or some kind of assault. It's just a brilliant film I'll never get tired of, I've watched it at least five times and it still unsettles.
