The Mask of Sarnath

About This Movie

So, The Mask of Sarnath, huh? This film really dives into that classic horror vibe with a noticeable homage to the supernatural. The pacing has a slow burn feel that really lets the tension build. The theme of 'Evil Never Dies' is palpable throughout and you can feel its weight in every scene. Throbbing Gristle's soundtrack is something else—haunting and unsettling, it just hangs in the air. The practical effects are pretty impressive for its time, adding a gritty realism that enhances the creepy atmosphere. Performances? They’ve got a raw edge that feels authentic, which complements the overall tone. It’s not widely known, but there's something about it that really sticks with you.
