7/10
Good, compact noir
27 October 2019
I did not know this little gem of British noir and I was pleasantly surprised by it. The Foch character is a girl who accepts a job, whose only requirement seems to be that the candidate is a lonely orphan.

However, Foch's boyfriend, whom she thought she'd lost, comes back into her life just as she is about to move in with the mysterious family who hired her.

The couple arrange for a date, but Foch disappears from London. She wakes up in a sinister Cornwall mansion and the plot takes a gothic turn.

I thought Foch overacted a bit. Also, her character seems prone to blurt out too much information to anybody. Despite this, the plot develops swiftly to the climax. The ending is a bit abrupt, with some unanswered questions (for instance: how did everyone arrived from London so quickly).

Still, an enjoyable movie.
