What critics compared Mark of the Devil to
Without showing us a frame, Strickland conjures a film that suggest Dario Argento directing "Mark of the Devil" while his own film falls somewhere between the aural equivalent of "Blow Up" and "Peeping Tom." Cinematographer Nicholas D. Knowland makes great use of shadows and the color red, a flashing Silenzio sign suggesting David Lynch.
