Not nearly as effective as most of Bergman's other works - either as a drama or a horror - but the acting and visuals are characteristically strong. Had the narrative and themes been more focused, I probably wouldn't have forgotten as much of the movie as I have in the month since I saw it.

A vision of death's doorstep for the tortured artist: In isolation facing the ghosts of lovers past, the emptiness of the loveless future, and the demons of suppressed guilt / exhausted creativity. A final succumbing. I think Bergman here is a bit too absolute with his symbolism - having each of these fears manifested into characters. I prefer something more provocative / mysterious like Persona.

This folk horror film has a lot of interesting parts but not enough to be completely effective. The story itself is a little haphazard, but the cast turns in good performances, and the cinematography allows a creepy feel to permeate throughout. It's even creepier when you learn about Bergman's own personal demons; many of those seem to make an appearance here. (Reminder to self: If Bergman invites you to a dinner party, politely decline.)

Bergman has been teasing us for 20 years with glimpses of the sort of horror director he might have made if he'd wanted to, and here he finally delivers. HotW isn't his strongest or clearest plot, but the visuals and the overall sense of surreal dread is like Lynch squared.

Ullmann and von Sydow host Story Time with Mr. Bergman, Spooky Edition. It's got lots of the hallmarks I've come to associate with Bergman - the long expository flashbacks framed as stories, the ticking clocks, cold detachment, obsessive morbidity, even pieces of the merging identities theme from Persona. In the case of HoTW, it's just not executed quite as well, especially in the first half of the film.

Needs a second watch but I feel that this supernatural trickery eats away Bergman’s better qualities in this film.
