Quick Hit

Carnival of Souls feels like waking up dead and trying to finish the week anyway. Cheap on paper, unforgettable in execution.

Full Take

The budget is thin, but the alienation is thick enough to cover every seam. Herk Harvey finds a truly off-center mood and never lets it normalize. Few cult films turn limitation into atmosphere this completely. ELITE.
