"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: The opening montage of nightmares undergoes plenty of dust and crackling sounds – which surprisingly heightens the apocalyptic terror – but apart from four hints of damage, the rest of the print looks just fine.

"Larssin poika yrittää olla hetkisen, humaani? Ei toki. Kyllä tämänkin juuttien provomestarin kädenjäljeksi nopeasti tunnistaa. Tehokeinot tällä kertaa vain huomattavasti hienovaraisemmat.
