Roman Polanski followed up his international breakthrough Knife in the Water with this controversial, chilling tale of psychosis. Catherine Deneuve is Carol, a fragile, frigid young beauty cracking up in her London flat when left alone by her vacationing sister. She is soon haunted by spectres real and imagined, and her insanity grows to a violent, hysterical pitch. Thanks to its disturbing detail and Polanski's adeptness at turning claustrophobic space into an emotional minefield, Repulsion is a surreal, mind-bending odyssey into personal horror, and it remains one of cinema's most shocking psychological thrillers.

Great Transfer, If A Little Over Priced.
The film is amazing and the transfer is great, which is why it gets 4 stars. The main aspect that lets this release down is the booklet, if you can even call it that. It's basically a leaflet and the article really adds nothing to my understanding or knowledge of the film. If you are a fan of this film/genre it's certainly worth getting but perhaps wait for it to be in a sale.
