Sorcerer

Published · Watched 2026-01-16

I like it; the tension throughout the second act was brilliant, just like in the original. I feel like the first act (before they start driving) is a little incoherent, although I felt that about Clouzot’s film as well, and at least in Sorcerer the characters aren’t as thoroughly unlikeable as in Le Salaire de la Peur! Also; did they really set Sorcerer up for a sequel in the last few moments of the film?

Regardless; I will happily watch both films again in future!
