Haunted mansions are seen less and less in Horror as it increasingly leaves its European roots in the Gothic and adapts to American media. What about season 1 of American Horror Story? Like the ocean/planet Solaris in Stanislaw Lem's "haunted space-station" novel; the truly alien reveals nothing of itself and is purely a distorted mirror allowing us to be horrified by our reflections. This sounds more like Tarkovsky's adaptation than Lem's novel. Lem detested the Tarkovsky movie, accusing Aleksandr Arsenyevich of replacing an intellectual, philosophical story with yet another variation on Crime and Punishment. (Personally, I prefer the elder Tarkovsky — the poet Arseniy Tarkovsky — to the son.)Surf safe;) NFiH  |
