Amy Torrance


Hollow Triumph (1948)


Pursued by the big-time gambler he robbed, a criminal takes a new identity, with ironic results.

An unnecessarily contrived plot mars an otherwise OK thriller with a good cast and some Noir elements.

Halliwell (no star): "Cheap suspense thriller with no suspense and no surprises."

Lektionen in Finsternis (1992)


The film shows the disaster of the Kuwaitian oil fields in flames, with few interviews and no explanatory narration.

Less a documentary, but rather a dark visual poem ambiguously celebrating and dreading the doom man brings to his own planet with morbidly beautiful images.

Sinister (2012)


A washed-up true-crime writer finds a box of super 8 home movies that suggest the murder he is currently researching is the work of a serial killer whose work dates back to the 1960s.

Although this horror movie does manage to create an atmosphere of dread and does find some strong (and disturbing) images plus a downbeat ending, it's all old hat adding nothing new to the genre.

Maltin**: "A horror film that's not exactly in the found-footage genre but is about found footage, which, of course, we see. Good-looking, well-produced movie (on a budget) - but based on a complicated, unlikely mythology - wearily plods its way to the expected ending."
