Creepy noir that slowly works its way under your skin. At first it seems rather plain and wholesome, but the mysterious references to "the red house", uncovering of dark secrets and disturbing sexual undertones build a hypnotic tension. Lon McCallister comes off as too earnest, but the other performances are very strong. The score is often lovely, but far too prominent. The visuals aren't flashy, but serviceable, with a few nice shots especially near the end (including a chilling death image).
