About
You may enjoy this if you like moody, old-fashioned crime thrillers with spooky tension and a wild final chase, especially if The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog or Terror by Night appeal to you; Not for you if tangled plotting frustrates you.
Pros: spooky old-house mood; lively final chase; brisk one-hour runtime | Cons: confusing plot turns; uneven acting style; slow, creaky start
