Description: A descent into madness rarely feels this claustrophobic. Roman Polanski's *Repulsion* isn't just a horror film; it's a visceral exploration of isolation and the fracturing of the self. Catherine Deneuve's performance is a masterclass in unraveling, her Carol slowly succumbing to a terrifying internal landscape reflected in the increasingly disturbing visuals. The film's unsettling atmosphere, built on unsettling sound design and brilliantly unsettling imagery, lingers long after the credits roll, leaving a profound unease that speaks to the power of psychological horror. It's a disturbing masterpiece that remains chillingly relevant.
