Gaslight (1944)



Years after her aunt was murdered in her home, a young woman moves back into the house with her new husband who has a secret which he will do anything to protect, even if that means driving his wife insane.

Classic  psycho-drama with a genuine paranoid atmosphere, great performances and excellent Noir photography.

Halliwell**: "Grossly overblown and less effective version of the story, but with moments of power, effective performances and superior production."

Maltin***: "The bloom has worn off this classic chiller..., but lush production, Victorian flavor, and fine performances remain intact."
