The Girl with the Needle

...politically pertinent Gothic horror story.

...a topical film that becomes all the more chilling when you realize, unsurprisingly, that it’s inspired by true events.

...an absolutely harrowing piece of historical horror, with an atmosphere of coldness and all-too-real misanthropy that captures a searing sense of truth.

...there’s no doubting the shiver of pure fear that runs through this movie from beginning to end.

Its answers are uneasy and disquieting, and the true root of its horror.
