i have just finish watch this film for the first time and and i must say that i be very impressed . how bleak . how full of despair . how nightmarish . incredible . visually stunning and several scene be embed in my mind . the first appearance of the phantom carriage . the soul of david holm a it rise from his corpse . his spirit on his knee and plead . this film take a simple story that of the ghostly driver of the phantom carriage and doom to collect the soul of the dead for a year bring it into the present setting of the film and then use flashback a a mean to explain how david holm end up in his predicament . i would love to see this release on dvd so that more might see it . everyone should .
