Sorcerer: I had to dig pretty deep for this one, but I remember seeing the original Wages of Fear on tv as a kid - small screen, black and white, and it still made my hair stand on end. So can't wait to see how Freidkin handled it. But first The Green Knight.
Hi, Sammie. What an interesting theme to explore. It's one of the go-to motifs for suspense films, but you point out that "get out" actually can be nuanced in many different ways. As I was reading, I was reminded of a movie some friends and I went to see as seniors in college. It was called When A Stranger Calls. No nuances here. Not an extraordinary film, but did it ever succeed with us as a "get out" psycho-thriller!

Thanks Sammie. Sounds a bit scary, but I suppose that’s the whole point and the fun in them.
