The first meeting of Maya Deren and film technology. Her inspiration with poetic pictures, dramatic suspense and unexpected twists was given structure and unique form byAlexander Hammid. The house in LA, where the two of them shot this film, is still there, almost unchanged. (Summer Film School)

English An interesting experimental film that plays with the idea of how a person is alienated from society and with the allure of death and what it can bring. Some images are truly excellent, especially when you realize how reality twists and turns in what you see here. ()
