This film from 1947, came out during a decade that had very few horror or even science fiction movies. "Red House" is a rare treat. This actually was a good decade for murder mysteries and film noire.
It's unusual in the horror genre. It feels sort of unconventional and some of the subject matter (especially all the incest implications) do seem quite edgy. I like it when people try something different though. :)
Great Tengy video on the film noir The Red House 1947 Delmer Daves. Film that I have not seen but it has to be very interesting to see with this director and starring one of the greats of cinema Edward G. Robinson, this actor has always been one of my favorites with a great filmography of noir genre films like Double Indemnity 1944, The Woman in the Window 1944 and Scarlet Street 1945 among many others, I also remember him in a great movie with Steve McQueen, The Cincinnati Kid 1965. He is an unrepeteable actor.
Certainly will have to check this one out too! Had been only super-dimly aware of its existence 'til now. Thanks for the watch/comments. Do you have any idea when you might be coming back? I've been recommending your videos to my other film industry friends, as your reviews seem to be able to look at film and tv both as an audience and as someone who can relate with empathy to the conditions of the film-making process as well (this is clearly the case with all of your talks about THE GOODIES).
In the scene before Ellen tries to burn down the red house. Pete mentioned that Meg's mom was his girlfriend and fiance before Meg's biological dad stole her away from Pete. Pete had his heart and mind broken
I remember when the guy is running away at night there is so much wind that the trees branches and leaves are almost blowing away. I thought it was a horror film.
That windy night scene is great! I think it is a horror film - but the horror is psychological. The brother's descent in madness and how his true character and crimes are revealed is pretty horrifying.
Well done; lots of angles in this one. A good balance of casting and script. Edward G. shows his great range. Post war movies were some of the best noir and subtle relationship 'experiments'. Judith Anderson was in another film I liked with Robert Mitchum in an early role called Pursued directed by Raoul Walsh. Thanx
Thanks for bringing this interesting film to my attention. I'll have to look it up and watch it in total. Edward G. is impressive here with his change in character. The slow pacing seems to be worth it, especially in psychological horror films such as this. Mad Love has the same slow pace but also builds up to a worthwhile ending.
let me know what you think if you get to see it, Jeff. It seems a pretty unusual film to me. Edward G really brings amazing and very disturbing dimensions to this role. I'd love to see Mad Love too.
Wow Tengy...., never seen this before. I think I'll have to watch this. You mention about the pace, but for me that's what I like. It sort of gently simmers along. Definitely a little on the creepy side regarding sexual undertones. Allene Roberts is so attractive. I've never heard of her before. For me though Rory Calhoun looks like he's just stepped out of the make-up room in every shot. The Pov shot of the truck sinking into the swamp and looking at the garage roof as it's sinking, was really well done.
The bit with the truck sinking somehow reminded me of the scene with Shelley Winters in Night of the Hunter. If you're ok with a film that is not fast paced, I think you'd get a lot out of this one. :)
Dude's kiss with his mom was total cringe! This one I was not familiar with, so thanks again Tengy, for broadening my horizons! This looks intriguing.
It's not my imagination is it? That moment is super creepy. :O

That is one Lovecraftian prologue
You're right - I hadn't thought about the Lovecraftian resonances of this type of rural horror. Interesting.

Hi David! Pursued sounds very interesting. I'd like to see that. Edward G is always so great. I'd watch him in anything :)
Found it... ua-cam.com/video/jgsoMycnOVA/v-deo.html
So good to see you smiling and happy

@@TengyTalksTVMovies Mad Love is a slow burn and well worth finding/viewing. Peter Lorre is amazing in this one.
It just occurred to me that Peter Lorre and Edward G Robinson should have worked together (assuming they never did).

@@TengyTalksTVMovies Hmmm, let me think now... what other film springs to mind when it comes to vehicles sinking in a swamp?🧐
Can u contact me my grandfather also was in a movie called Hells a Poppin ? Dancing 🐷
Good movie 🎬
Such an impressive cast in this one. :)
