Hour of the Wolf

1968 · TMDB 7.4 · Vargtimmen

Directed by Ingmar Bergman

While vacationing on a remote German island with his younger pregnant wife, an artist has an emotional breakdown while confronting his repressed desires.

Why it matters

Ingmar Bergman's only outright horror film depicts an artist's psychological disintegration on a remote island. The demons are both real and imagined, and the line between them collapses.
