But that conservatism simply underlines the urge of top filmmakers to rediscover an honorable American tradition: the tale of psychological terror. Invented by Poe, mastered by Melville, Ambrose Bierce, Henry James, H.P. Lovecraft--and branded forever on film by Hitchcock--the horror genre is too important to be left to the kids.

...Marie does what's known as "spiraling into" something or other, in her dead-end abusive relationship with EuroChris, we gradually reach an ending that many have found melodramatic, a rocky touch-down. Of course, as Hitchcock of all people has said, one person's melodrama is another's drama, and for many the ending will fit just right. Yet it is difficult to say which of the two main concluding directorial decisions enervate more or whether they do at all.
