McDowell has gone all out to be crowned as the World Heavyweight Champion of Screen Bad Guys in his role in this film
A girlfriend and I saw this at the movies; we were McDowell fans having seen A Clockwork Orange, Time After Time, O Lucky Man, If, (tho' not all at once!)
After one particularly excruciating scene girlfriend stood up in tears, screamed "YOU BASTARD!" at the screen fortissimo while shaking her fist, and had to be taken home a trembling mess; this was a girl that hadn't batted an eyelid during A Clockwork Orange"The Passage" supposedly played in the States for a week and was hastily pulled from distribution, and has subsequently never been issued on video or any other format, tho' bootlegs exist
Uma Thurman claims to have survived this film: "When I was young there was one called 'The Passage.' It horrified me. I think Malcolm McDowell chopped off someone's fingers. ... I've never recovered ..."
Malcolm McDowell; "That movie contained some of the best work I've ever done"
