The House Across the Lake

American screen siren Hillary Brooke plays the consummate femme fatale in this gritty '50s Brit Noir from Hammer Films – shot just a year before they made their name with The Quatermass Xperiment. An early feature by Emmy-winning writer-director Ken Hughes, The House Across the Lake is featured here as a brand new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.Author Mark Kenrick's plan to hide out in a quiet bungalow and thrash out his new novel is disrupted by the noise coming from a lively party at an exclusive home across the lake from his retreat. He is shocked to find the lady of the house both calculating and manipulative... and learns the hard way just how far she will go to get what she wants!Theatrical trailerAlternate TitlesThe House Across the Thames: interview with Continuity Supervisor Renee GlynneThe Dame Wore Tweed: Barry Forshaw examines Brit NoirScotland Yard: The Drayton CaseImage galleryLimited edition booklet written by Neil Sinyard
