49. paperhouse ( thriller or horror and 1988 ) sick in bed with a fever 11 year old anna ( charlotte burke ) have only her drawing to keep her company . her health progressively worsen a a series of mysterious black out grip her . in each of these episode she dream of a house in a desolate field and with only a sickly invalid boy name marc ( elliot spiers ) inhabit it . when a dark and unknown danger threaten her idyllic paperhouse and the life of marc be put in jeopardy . her life be also in danger a these dream mirror her own state of health . critique represent haunt first debut feature from british director bernard rise . take from a fable ( marianne dream ) by catherine storr and it leave plenty of other original fantasy work in it wake . whenever a story deal with dream and nightmare it be hard to give it the mixture of fable and reality to make it work in film form . director rise successfully capture the child fantasy world aspect along with a darkness that seek to usurp them . feverishly score by phillip glass and rise know how to use music wisely with expertly time jump out of your seat moment . most thriller be very sloppy in this all important aspect of scar the audience into not know what the next scene will bring . i also like the way he capture suspense and never let it go or falter sluggishly into the next sequence of event . also and his mastery of place object within the frame ( a in his p. o. v. shot ) give the cinematography an added dimension it would otherwise seem to lack . only in europe will you find such ominous look place a the one present here represent the lonely house and the field and coastal town and watchtower etc . rise would follow this film with candyman ( 1992 ) and a true think person horror gem and bona fide cult horror favorite .
