In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Death and the Maiden (1994)
A thriller directed by Roman Polanski.
A woman who was tortured finds that her husband has invited her tormentor into their house. She takes off and when the men fall asleep, she comes back and begins interrogating the guest.
The audio and video were good.
This whole film takes place over the course of 1 night and it accumulates back-story as it goes. Also, we are forced to question the back-story that develops due to the woman's mental condition. For a good plot and Sigourney Weaver in a strong role, I give this a good rating.
