The Whip Hand (1951)
6/10
Red Scare
5 July 2023
Russians have infiltrated small Minnesota town Winnoga. Magazine writer Matt Corbin is on a fishing vacation. In a sudden rainstorm, he comes across a suspicious private property. The local town is also suspicious. Matt gets medical treatment from Dr. Edward Keller and his sister Janet Keller. It turns out that all the fish are dead and Matt starts investigating.

This was written as an anti-Nazi flick, but got reworked into a Red Scare film. Those were the times. The premise is a bit clunky, but it's good spooky. Raymond Burr is playing the big heavy. The movie is going a bit too slow and it needs more action. The style is neo-noir and somewhat horror-like. The plot just needs move a little faster.
