include spoiler i have be a horror film fan now for many decade . just when i think i have see all the great one another pop up to surprise me . i have never see this film before . it be a treat and off the beaten path too . not just the path to the swamp ferry boat either . here be a horror film make in the 1940s that dare to try something very different . the pretty girl be ( gulp ) fearless for a change and save the men and include the man she love and from the monster . how be that for a twist . this girl be the complete opposite of most woman in film of that time and no screaming at her own shadow and no fainting from fright and no tripping over a leaf a she run . this gal wasn not afraid to live alone in a secluded hut far away from the rest of the villager . not only that but the place be on a foggy swamp rumor to be haunt . heck she even take nap on the swamp grass outdoors . like a regular 1940s version of ripley . no snake and gator or ghostly strangler would dare bother this gal . book on early feminist film should be sure to include this overlooked work . see this if you be a fan and like me and of those wonderfully atmospheric classic b or w horror film they make only in the 30 and 40 . and be sure to wear your cast iron turtle neck for protection .
