PUNQ

Rated 06 Dec 2016

I ended up liking this little British film rather well. Known as Trunk Crime (1939) or it's less fitting American name Design for Murder, the film tells of a student poisoning his bully and putting him in a trunk that he want's to dispose. Doesn't prove as easy as he'd hoped and the psychology and suspense of it plays a large part in making this a tiny gem in the 1930s British suspense genre.
