Movie Info

So since when have crimes been committed in a house with all the lights on? This chop-licking British melodrama stars the gloriously uninhibited Tod Slaughter, playing the unspeakable Sir Henry Glyde. Disposing of his wealthy wife, Glyde replaces her with a look-alike, a recent "graduate" from the local insane asylum. This may sound vaguely familiar to you if you've seen the 1948 Warner Bros. Gothic drama The Woman in White. Indeed, both the Warner film and Crimes in the Dark House were based on the same 1860 novel by Wilkie Collins -- and both are good gory fun in their own separate ways.

Audience Reviews for Crimes at the Dark House

  • Sep 05, 2010
    This is one of Slaughter's best movies, if you're a fan you should see this. If you're not a fan, you can enjoy this good horror movie, it's suspenseful and well acted.
