Off-beat, satisfying B thriller
This unusual little thriller, which turned up in a DVD collection of cheapie horror “classics” that I picked up, turns out to be a real discovery. Unusually fine camera-work, a smart, witty script, and good performances (especially by the feline Bey) suggest the makers took a few tips from the Val Lewton films, and maybe from Gregg Toland’s cinematography on “Citizen Kane.” (Note the fine deep-focus shots.) The set-up, with Bey as a dubious medium enticing a widow by claiming contact with her late husband, allows for some fun sequences involving the medium’s tricky house, and some good spooky haunting scenes. All around, an enjoyable, tightly-made little treat.
