MURDER IN THE RED BARN 1935 ( SINISTER CINEMA)

Another Tod Slaughter film that I enjoyed.

The plot for this film is very simple. A woman who has an affair with a squire named William Corder (Tod Slaughter) becomed pregnant and her father throws her out of his house.

The young woman, Maria Marten (Sophie Stewart) goes to Corder for help, but he decides to have nothing to do with her and he takes her to a red barn and kills her.

He buries her and then shifts the blame to a young gypsy man named Carlos (Eric Portman) who then must prove his innocents.

Everything comes to a head and Corder is found out and finally hung. This little 58 minute gem moves along nicely and Slaughtwer delivers another fine performance as a mad killer.

If this is your cup of tea then I say if you haven't seen it goe for it.
