The hidden hand
2 March 2023
John Channing (Milton Parsons) is an insane-asylum escapee. In her efforts to protect her brother from the authorities, John's sister Lorinda (Cecil Cunningham) opens the door for a series of grisly murders. Peter Thorne (Craig Stevens) and Mary Winfield (Elizabeth Fraser) try to stop John before he kills again.

Quite thrilling and creepy and fast-paced programmer with the classic old dark house setting but this one has a little comedy. It's fun though with secret passages, will readings, sliding panels and escaped mental patients, and this is quite atmospheric and suspenseful. There's a neat twist at the end, and excellent performances by Cecil Cunningham as the crotchety rich old woman and Milton Parsons as the deranged killer.
