I, Madman (1989)

I'd wanted to see this one ever since it came out after reading Roger Ebert's surprisingly enthusiastic review of it. (See, I get around to everything eventually.) The end product did not disappoint -- fairly clever, tense and gruesome, with some extraordinary giallo-style touches scattered throughout (my favorite: the avalanche of books the heroine has to climb) that compensate for the occasional dumbness that seems to come with the territory. Some explanation at the end of why exactly the events in question had taken place would have been nice, though.
