Review of The Red House (1947) by Michael H — 09 Sep 2007

Psychological thriller about a father (Robinson) who forbids his daughter from going near a desolate red house lying hidden within the woods... why? That question drives both the daughter and the plot as her curiosity drives to investigate the dark secrets of the building.

A strong sense of mystery keeps the viewer watching, along with a brooding atmosphere that draws you in, but the actual revelation to the mystery isn't as unexpected as one would desire.
