Poster for the movie Strange People

Strange People (Chesterfield, 1933)

All the members of a jury that convicted a man set to be executed are summoned, by various means, to a gloomy old mansion, in fact the home of the person the condemned man was said to have murdered, and the tension grows as the various people realize that there must be some plan at work. Then a killer strikes, and it is soon revealed that the initial plan for the evening has gone awry. There’s a lot packed into this movie’s brief running time, and the twists are perhaps a bit too much; I never did quite figure out the reasons for everything that happened.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 145 for 2021.
