Director: Delmer Daves
Writer: George Agnew Chamberlain (novel), Delmer Daves (screenplay), Albert Maltz (uncredited)
Cinematographer: Bert Glennon
Plot: An old man and his sister are concealing a terrible secret from their adopted teen daughter, concerning a hidden abandon farmhouse, located deep in the woods.
This is classified as a psychological thriller. The location (in the country) and lighting (direct sunlight) do not suggest film noir. However, change the country to the city and give the lighting more contrast, and film noir might be the most natural category for this film.
