During this spooky month, the Crit Club decided to take yet another trip to an isolated location, specifically a desolate island in the north of Sweden for a chill bit of insomnia with Ingmar Bergman’s 1968 horror thriller Hour of the Wolf. This surrealist nightmare about art, existence, codependency, and self-perception follows a quiet, expecting couple making a home away from others, until the husband’s claustrophobic fears call down his internal demons to wreck the lives of them both. Come have a listen and see if the Crit Club thought it was worth staying awake until the Hour of the Wolf.
