Viewing Notes
Really well done thriller/mystery from Hammer. I keep getting surprised by their non-horror output and this little gem, written by Jimmy Sangster, is a great example. More reminiscent of Clouzot’s DIABOLIQUE than Hitchcock but I could see either comparison.
Really well shot and cast, it has an air of gothic horror about it. I love that it does a lot of its misdirection through the casting itself.
