Excellent. If you liked Cool Air which, though I think is a wonderful film in many ways (especally the chemistry between the two principals, and Jack Donner's sterling performance) I also think is the weakest of the three (by a hair), then you should definitely enjoy the others. There is a "lumbering ancient malevolence" in Rough Magik, but it's kept very much in the background, and used for its evocative felt but barely seen menace; the story itself revolves around its effects on various people and is very, very nice indeed. As said before, Out of Mind is, despite a low budget for special effects, an absolute gem. Enjoy!

And I'm glad this worthwhile endeavor will be receiving even more attention.
