Carnival of Souls by Herk Harvey
It's a stunning visual masterpiece from 1962, probably one of the best movies I've seen recently. A perennial classic. Captivating, dark, sinister. Making both Ingmar Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock proud, and somewhat envious.
I sure liked Christian Petzold's 2007 rendition of Carnival of Souls in Yella (definitely not a remake, more like inspired by, and truly unique in its own way), but this film is absolutely insane. The real issue is which of these two to watch first, as either gives away a huge spoiler for the other. I would suggest starting with Yella, though.
And I was sad to learn this is Herk Harvey's only feature film, the overlooked genius who never had a second chance. Think debut Velvet Underground album kind of vibes. We get it now, sure, but Candace Hilligoss and Herk Harvey didn't get their due in their time.
