Rating: - Low budget thriller shows how it is done!
I originally purchased MURDER AT DEVIL'S GLEN in a collection, as an old Jane SEYMOUR film, the HAUNTING PASSION, was also included, (please refer to my Amazon review of that set). Initially, I balked at the inclusion of MDG as it is a film that I was unfamiliar with. I thought that this was the manufacturers way of disposing of a picture that nobody wants, (but they make you pay for it anyway). I also prefer Horror and rarely venture into other genres as it would cost me a small fortune! In retrospect, I am glad that I made this purchase as MDG is by far the better of these two films. I won't provide a plot synopsis as that has already been done by other reviewers. MDG is a thoughtful, well crafted low budget psychological thriller that successfully draws the viewer in. The film is so good, that film study classes should include it in their curriculum for must viewing. In contrast to its b-picture origins, MDG has a modest Hollywood-like budget feel about it. The acting, cinematography, and script all deserve kudos, and it is a shame that more people are not aware of this film. I am a huge fan of Horror and have reserved my Amazon DVD reviews for that genre-until now. My only complaint is that the film has such an awesome ending that it may diminish repeat viewings. Action and Horror flicks at least have the advantage of offering a lot of eye candy to keep ones interest alive, (even though the finale is no longer a secret). For that reason I won't provide any "reveals" because you should discover them for yourself! Of interest is that I did re-watch MDG and although the effect was diminished, (as to be expected), I spent more time pondering the technical side of things; acting, dialogue, camera work, etc. It still proved to be a pleasant ride. Four out of five stars for MDG. Recommended!
