The Keep — 4K 03/01/25

Michael Mann’s WW2 horror disaster is still a fascinating item, especially in 4K. We marvel at its moody ‘architectural’ atmosphere, that generates dread even when the movie just plain ain’t workin’. The interesting actors include Jürgen Prochnow, Gabriel Byrne, Scott Glenn and a very different-looking Ian McKellen. Elijah Drenner’s full stack of extras digs deep into the hows and whys of this ‘Nazis versus Golem’ opus; we’re still short on guesses as to exactly what writer-director Mann was after. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome.
