Viewing Notes

Despite the title this is not a horror film a la Death Bed: The Bed That Eats. Instead the poison that is used to murder people leaves a stain on the carpet.

Not a krimi but definitely a krimi wannabe. Fun to find this one on Hoopla of all places (I believe it’s on Tubi as well). Has many of the hallmarks of the Edgar Wallace adaptations including the cast (ofc bc this is another Rialto picture) and a mysterious killer.
