Anthony Hopkins captures the intimidating presence of the man as he uses his caustic wit, formidable intelligence and carefully-constructed persona to get Robert Bloch’s ‘unfilmable’ novel from the page to the screen against conservative Hollywood’s objections.

"Where else can you dance to James Brown for ten minutes in a shipping container, while a couple passionately makes out pretty much on top of you?"

There’s a focus on the lyrics and subtle melodies, with the production just pushing everything along – but it works really well, even if the texture wears out before the record does.

If anything, this album really makes you want to listen to Wonder’s earlier works.

he middle section seems to lack the same punch offered at the start but fortunately Bad Thing checks in towards the end for its bombastic but creepy horns and live kit under Francis Kora’s vocal gymnastics.
