Review of House by the River (1950) by Patryk C — 20 Sep 2012
House by the River is one of those noir movies that perfectly fit into the horror genre. Its sombre atmosphere, macabre feel, use of light and shady cinematography compose a masterful amount of greatly thrilling and scary sensations.
Stephen Byrne murders his maid, and then asks his brother John for help with burying the body in the nearby river. After a series of accidents, its John who's blamed for the girl's death. What's more, Stephen is perfectly ok with that and even starts to write a book about this horrifying case.
Its a good brother vs. evil brother showcase of the most electrifying kind. Fritz Lang's under-appreciated work.
