B

Fairly decent horror starring Edward G. Robinson. Offers a classic trope 'No one go near that red house in the woods, or else', albeit with a nice slow burn to the actual 'horror' stuff. Starts off Leave it to Beaver'ish, finishes a bit Hitchcockian... not bad for 1947.

Yeah, it's not really a horror. I just saw that at wikipedia & imdb as all. Still, for 1947, I suppose that's what qualified.

I knew nothing at all of the film, always refreshing that, going in blank slate ready for anything.

Robinson even though it doesn't ask much of him. Still, intriguing dark mystery.
