"Freely adapted from a story by Hans Christian Andersen. It’s a must for anyone interested in the art of
 film. It always seems to me a work of true madness about a descent into madness. Original and timeless, it’s also a glorious celebration of classical
 ballet and the pain and effort it takes to make it. The matchless beauty of 
Moira Shearer is captured by the cinematography of Jack Cardiff, and Anton
 Walbrook (as the impresario of the ballet company) gives an unforgettable 
performance, one that alone is worth the price of admission. The film is a
 transcendent experience, and the Criterion Blu-ray gives new luster to
 the imagery and sound. You need to see this, unless, like me, you’ve
 already watched it endlessly."

What happens when you take 6 strangers, put them in a box, made of lots of other little boxes? Madness of course. Throw in some deadly traps, warped personalities and an interesting cast, you have yourselves pandemonium. A typical 90s dark movie, but worth the watch... always a good go to movie for a 90s film night!

This follow-up book sees David again solving mysteries with his own (internal) Scooby-gang. It felt like something of a re-telling of the first book and wasn't as compelling here. David's character and madness develop quite a bit here and it is set up for more in the future, which I would relish. Just a little disappointed that it wasn't made more of.

"It is hard to believe that this film about a nunnery in the Himalayas was filmed entirely at Pinewood Studios outside London. We are used now to entirely digital sets, but Alfred Junge’s designs and Jack Cardiff’s wonderful lighting and camera work are dazzling, the illusions spectacular. Add to this a gripping story beautifully acted and directed, despair, passion, and madness; you can’t lose."
