WHAT SECRET LIES BEYOND THE DOOR?

"Secret Beyond the Door" is a Freudian thriller from Fritz Lang. Celia is lovely and stylishly groomed in this shocker about a woman whose husband, an architect, collects rooms where famous murders have occurred. One of the doors of those rooms always remains locked. Although unsuccessful take on Hitchcock, Lang makes a pastiche by taking fairy tale tropes and melds them with modern science.
