Synopsis

Robert Siodmak's THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE is a classic Hitchcockian thriller set in a shadow-filled Victorian house. The manor's mute servant girl, Helen (Dorothy McGuire), is threatened by a murderer on the premises--a killer who targets those burdened by afflictions....

4.0 out of 5 stars Creepy classic with topnotch acting and directing, 4 Feb 2009
By Thomas Ludvigsen "b/w aficinado" (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Turn off the lights and get ready for one of the best suspense films of the forties. The Spiral Staircase is perhaps not as well known as some classic Hitchcock movies, but the film is a true gem for aficinados of scary black and white thrillers. I was introduced to the film by my mother who saw it when she was 12 in 1946. It scared the hell out of her then and did the same to us both i 2009. The director is the most underrated Robert Siodmak, proberly best known for The Killers starring Burt Lancaster. The Spiral Staircase has all the ingredienses of a classic suspense film: Insane murderer, creepy old house, several suspects and superb black and white photography. Ethel Barrymore and specially George O'Brian give firstrate performances as two of the main characters in this unforgettable film.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Spiral Staircase, 6 Jul 2009
By P. Lawrence (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you like good old black and white thrillers then this film is worth getting. It stars Dorothy McGuire as a young woman who helps to look after an elderly lady who is dying. A number of women are murdered but at first there is no connection between the murders. Is McGuire in danger and if so from whom? They are the questions which slowly build the suspense, and like the staircase you go round from one suspect to another until the twist at the end.
