The Pale Blue Eye

The Pale Blue Eye takes the Crime / Horror route and wastes little time pretending life is going to remain orderly. Here, someone makes a terrible life choice and the consequences arrive right on schedule. The rating says it has enough going for it to justify a look, provided the premise is your kind of trouble. The real question is whether the movie can keep its nerve once the setup is established — because a good premise is easy; landing the thing without driving into a hedge is the difficult bit.
