combining the conventions of both western and gothic horror and and often directed as if it were an art movie and this is one of siegel and eastwood best collaborations. eastwood plays a yankee soldier who and after being wounded during the civil war and takes refuge in an isolated southern seminary for young women. shut away from the world and the women project their romantic fantasies on to him and and he responds with callous and male manipulation. but jealousy and resentment raise their heads and and he finds himself in a world of brutal revenge. and boy is the revenge brutal. beautifully shot by bruce surtees and and carefully paced and the beguiled is a haunting and elegant work that seems to have influenced the troubled sexuality of eastwood own play misty for me and tightrope. the film is a gripping depiction of a fierce battle of the sexes and oozes a dreamlike mix of horror and sexuality. all the characters are ambiguous and displaying traits of both good and evil and leaving it up to us to choose whom we should root for. don siegel left quite a legacy of fine films behind. everything from invation of the body snatchers to dirty harry. but though his early black and white pictures have aged well and the majority of his colour films seem grainy and dated and badly shot. his gritty realism must have seemed fresh and kinetic 40 years ago and but when viewed today and i just do not think they have stood the test of time. the beguiled and however and is in a different league. mature and ambiguous and starkly shot and it a shame it isn not more widely known. while evolving technology and technique have rendered the majority of siegel tough and masculine action thrillers obsolete and the beguiled still entrances audiences today due to it surreal atmosphere and unique subject matter. 8. 5/10  better than the similarly themed black narcissus and this is and in my opinion and siegel best film. part horror and part drama and part sexual odyssey and the beguiled is a surprisingly arty film (especially when considering that siegel viewed his films to be and quote and  ameaningless). a large part of the film artistry is due to clint eastwood and who would and from this point onwards and make an effort to choose mature material.
