ReviewsUSA Today - ...An all-time chiller..., Chicago Sun-Times - ...Polanski ups the horror ante with stylish, Hitchcockian filmmaking that makes the most of shadow and nuance and is chock-full of symbolism and subtext..., Entertainment Weekly - "...[Deneuve is] heart-stoppingly gorgeous....Chilly alienation." -- Rating: A
Additional InformationREPULSION, starring the incomparable Catherine Deneuve, was director Roman Polanski's first movie filmed in English. It chronicles the descent into schizophrenia of a sexually confused, isolated young woman named Carol who works at a beauty parlor and shares an apartment with her sister Helen (Yvonne Furneaux). One day Helen and her boyfriend Michael (Ian Hendry) go off on vacation together and Carol is left alone in the empty apartment, where the only sounds are the constant ticking of a clock, faucets dripping, and the invasive ringing of a telephone. Extremely paranoid, Carol refuses to let anyone in and never leaves the building herself, in effect breaking off all contact with the outside world. In this claustrophobic environment, she begins to lose her grip on reality, suffering from hallucinations of being attacked by a phantom rapist and hands reaching out from the walls to grab her. Highly acclaimed and extremely gripping, Polanski's disturbing film can be seen as a prelude to his later work in the field of psychological horror: ROSEMARY'S BABY and, especially, THE TENANT.

  • Repulsion

    Filmed in black and white this film won't be for everyone. It is a slow starter but once the paranoia sets in it picks up . Is she imagining things slowly going mad are things actually happening to her.i really liked this style of film making .classic 60's style. If you liked psycho,peeping tom,eyes without a face it kind of fits in with those type of films.
