7/10
Remember the GEICO TV commercial "Let's Hide Behind the Chainsaws" well it must have been based on this film
9 February 2021
I have never been a fan of Barbara Stanwyck's and this suspense film initially left me with a better than expected impression of her acting chops, but then when the last ten minutes of the film rolled around I was reminded of that recent GEICO insurance TV commercial where a bunch of young men and women are being hunted and to avoid detection one of them yells out "Let's Hide Behind the Chainsaws" which are hanging en masse from inside a garage roof where the bad guy is waiting for this bunch of fools.

Now I felt like one of those fools after sticking with this film to the bitter end, and believe me when I say it was a bitter ending. It was a very disappointing ending to an otherwise decent murder/suspense film.

I give it a better than deserving 6 out of 10 IMDB rating merely because I cannot blame Ms. Stanwyck for the writer's inability to develop a more creative ending.
