A thriller that's nowhere nearly as clever as it thinks it is -- with a lot of "suspense" built around things the heroine tries that you know will somehow fail because otherwise the movie would be over. Much of the plot is also dependent upon one or more characters behaving like idiots at a crucial point (several times) -- including one of the dumbest murder attempts I have ever seen. The presence of George Macready made me wish I was seeing _Paths of Glory_ again instead

Tight, quick little thriller where a family with a dark secret imprisons a young woman and attempts to gaslight her. Some clever battles of wits going on, with a strong performance by Nina Foch, an uncharacteristically menacing one by Dame May Whitty, and a creepy one by George Macready. Admittedly, nothing here is going to wow you, but it's a mighty enjoyable morsel of fun.

A classic low budget thriller. Foch is beautiful and very good, Whitty has a rare opportunity to be a baddie (and succeeds admirably) and George Macready gives what is probably his creepiest performance. Which of course is very creepy indeed.
