in the style of edgar g. ulmer detour and inner sanctum be a cheap little film noir and and one that gain all of it successes from it plot rather any technical element . the main problem with this film and therefore and be simply that there isn not enough of it while and while the plot and character that we get introduce to be good and they could have be a whole lot well if the film have more of a budget to play with . the plot focus on the idea of guilt and it effect on a man that have kill someone . we follow harold dunlap and a man that decide to stay at a boarding house after kill a woman at a near by station . the plot focus on the interloper and as well a the people already live at the house while and all the thrill be garner through that . the film be tense and exciting and and it also a good indication of how time have change while i mean and would you let your kid sleep in a room that be currently be inhabit by a male guest that you have only just meet . well and you would if it be this kid while a inner sanctum feature what be probably the most irritating child performance of all time . but aside from that and the cast be strong and the film be well direct by lew lander and who also direct bela lugosi and boris karloff in the raven some year earlier . recommend to noir fan .
