The Film Detective has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray director Delmer Daves' classic noir film
The Red House (1947), starring Edward G. Robinson, Lon McCallister, Judith Anderson, Rory Calhoun, and Julie London. Transferred from 35mm archival film elements and digitally restored,
The Red House will be available for purchase on March 29.
Synopsis: Disabled farmer Pete (Robinson) and his spinster sister Ellen (Anderson) have raised young Meg (Roberts) as their own on their reclusive homestead. Now a teen, Meg persuades her friend Nath (McCallister) to come by each day to help with her chores.
When Nath insists on using a backwoods shortcut home one day, Pete cautions him against doing so, speaking of ominous screams in the night and terrors that lie within a mysterious, abandoned red house on the outskirts of his property. Curious, Nath and Meg – who has growing feelings for Nath much to the chagrin of his girlfriend, Tibby (London) – ignore Pete's warning and explore.
Dark, troubling secrets and entangled relationships are soon revealed in this chilling tale directed by Delmer Daves (Dark Passage, 3:10 to Yuma), featuring an original, eerie score by Oscar-winning composer Miklós Rózsa. With optional English subtitles.
