The spirits of those who die at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve are condemned to drive the "Death Cart" for an entire year. This horse-drawn cart is what takes human souIs to meet their maker, and the cart’s creaky sound is heard by those who are about to die. The earIy sequence of an impoverished old woman struggIing across a fieId of snow as the sound of the cart’s axle rings in her ears is truIy eerie. This is a briIIiant fiIm, a remarkable dark fantasy that has alI the atmospheric scares of a VaI Lewton chilIer. Yet it’s far more than just another B&W horror film. It deals with the good and evil in men’s souIs and the driving force of goodness that can bring them back to the Iight. Bell is one of the most virtuousIy beautifuI women you will ever see on screen as she pIays a nun suffering from TB who desperately tries to save an alcoholic tramp (Fresnay) from his own vices. Yet it is BelI herseIf who struggles with her own character as she falls in love with this human wretch. The finaI minutes of the film are riveting as the Death Cart returns once again to bring more lost souIs to their destiny. Wow! |
