For: This movie is almost true to the original story by D. H. Lawrence which is one of pure horror graphically transcribed to the silver screen. The cast is led by an incredible John Howard Davies whose portrayal of the tormented young Paul is nothing short of brilliant. In my opinion, the black and white format enhances the stark, spin-chilling development of the plot. The other cast members are totally convincing in their roles. The story line belongs alongside "The Turn of the Screw" for its bleak terror. Against: If only the Directors of the film had left off at the point at which D. H. Lawrence wrote "The End". Their apparent desire to tie up loose ends results in an "add-on" that is anticlimactic and destroys the shock of the original's conclusion. I strongly oppose the tendency film writers have of trying to better a literary masterpiece. Sadly, this is a case in point. Apart from this unforgivable liberty, the film is a tremendous tour-de-force which I strongly recommend.Read full review
