The mind of an artist is the scariest horror villain

A troubled painter and his wife stay at a small northern island in an effort to escape the distractions of everyday life.
At first all is pleasant, but soon they find themselves tortured by isolation and the painter's inner-demons. Many horror films are psychological, but only in Bergman's hands does the human-psyche itself become the antagonist. Creepy and thought-provoking in equal measure.
This is a classic "art house" film. It's Swedish w. English subtitles. But the *non-verbal* communication in this film is what's stunning. *Lots* of pregnant pauses, action scenes w. no dialogue, silence accompanied by only natural sounds like that of the nearby ocean. Minimalist, surreal, Zen texture. No sex, really, but certainly a sexual subtext for those who want to perceive one vis-a-vis growing attraction of one woman to another. But all very subtle.
