Movie Reviews

Time Out - 6/10 by Tom Milne[Lang's] direction is masterly, imposing meanings and tensions through images that are spare, resonant and astonishingly beautiful. A remarkable film.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonSecret Beyond the Door ventures into some astounding arenas (even for Lang, who was an expert in paranoia), both of the mind and otherwise.
Radio Times - 4/10 by Allen EylesThe result is heavy going and pretentious.
Total Film - 4/10 by Philip KempBorrowing a plot from the Bluebeard legend, and chucking in a load of sub-Freudian hokum, Fritz Lang nonetheless makes a class act of this Gothic psycho-thriller.
Chicago Reader - 4/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumProbably the most psychoanalytically oriented of his features, and because it's Lang, the murkiness is mainly a strength.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul BBeautiful, mastered, a different Fritz Lang, but still Fritzy !!
User Review - 10/10 by Steve HNice creepy noir with a very unique plot.
User Review - 10/10 by Vic EAn enjoyable minor Lang film with a good but implausible story that has enough suspense to keep you interested. Having seen many of Lang's influences on Hitchcock, it was intriguing to see Lang imitating Hitchcock. I wonder if the direct references to REBECCA and SPELLBOUND were meant as a spoof?
User Review - 8/10 by Private UA dark, complex and atmospheric film about love and death. Lang plays with the expressionist atmosphere of the film to better evoke the deep psychology of the two main characters. It's impossible not to recall Hitchcock's 'Rebecca' while watching this film, right through the creepy 'secretary' and ghostly presence of the dead wife. Bennett plays her character as self-sufficient, dedicated, and powerful as she seeks to unravel her husband's tortured pathology in an attempt to save him (and herself). Some genuinely suspenseful moments give way to a slightly strange denouement that nonetheless fulfills the film's complex psychological trajectory. My one objection must be the pervasive voiceover that runs through too much of the film, limiting some of the power of the actors (both the leads are superb) by describing and characterizing too much of the scene. It was as though Lang did not trust the strength of his visuals to adequately convey the film's narrational complexity. But a completely enjoyable film, very satisfying, with a lot more going on under the surface than even the film itself acknowledges.
User Review - 8/10 by Andy CIt's overwrought with its Freudianism but it's stunning visually.
