I think it's really great the way it addresses the way small communities and isolated communities close in on themselves to protect ugliness.

This was an early CinemaScope film, and William Mellor frames it all beautifully. It's an outstanding thriller.

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Slowly, through a process of guarded discourse, which Director John Sturges has built up by patient, methodical pacing of his almost completely mate cast, an eerie light begins to glimmer. Full Review
