Tuesday, April 12 - The House in the Woods

The House in the Woods (1957)

The spirit of a murdered woman doesn't return to take her revenge. That must be a different film.

Geoffrey Carter, a highly strung author suffering from writer's block, petulantly insists to his wife that they flee their annoying neighbours and move somewhere more peaceful. They find a delightfully remote woodland cottage which the owner a melancholic, widowed artist with a Larry Adler fixation is happy to rent them at a pittance. All too soon they realise that something is not quite right with their landlord and, much to Geoffrey's horror, he realises that the plot of his new murder mystery is being played out for real.
