Watched this one for the first time last night. It's from a period of Bergman's career I greatly admire, with Persona being my favorite of these. The Hour of the Wolf is a horror psychodrama about an artist (Max von Sydow) and his wife (Liv Ullman) living on a remote island whose relationship becomes strained as the artist is haunted by bizarre visions. Bergman creates a thoroughly unsettling, haunting atmosphere, heightened by the sense of isolation on the island and the growing sensation that nothing is quite what it seems.
