The Spiral Staircase

 

This was a pretty cool movie from noir director Robert Siodmak.  There's a murderer about killing women with disabilities which rightfully distresses the mute Dorothy McGuire.  Every male becomes a suspect almost in this movie.  I expected a straightforward predictable horror movie but there was something I didn't see coming and it wasn't a cheap twist ending.  Dorothy McGuire does a good job with this.  I wonder why this didn't make The Criterion Collection as Siodmak is a noted director.
