Not a keeper

Michael Mann, who was a hot director in the 80's (Miami Vice), wrote and directed The Keep, a combo of supernatural horror flick and WWII Nazis centered on a strange castle-prison in Romania. Visual style and atmosphere, great.





Story, clunky and confused. I guess that's what happens when people whose real gift  is decoration turn to moralizing.

Again I note how often we see Nazis as the great evil in history while utterly ignoring the gruesome horrors of Marx and his devils, masquerading as angels of light.
