A little known treasure, Inner Sanctum is a gripping film noir journey through secrets, lies, and murder. The film follows three disturbingly connected stories: the talented Charles Russell stars as a dark and broken man who viciously kills his wife; a troubled little boy who witnesses the murder; and the fatally beautiful Mary Beth Hughes is a sexy young woman who’s been told she’ll die soon by a psychic gypsy. Winding up in the same boarding house as all three run from their dark secrets, their crossing paths create hair raising tension and subtle complexities. In particular, Russell and Hughes engage in an electric love affair. But what elevates Inner Sanctum to the next level are the riveting twists and turns as the film boils to a devastating finish.
