Its 85 minutes stuffed with shadowy menace, odd magical-realisms (what is it with the jumping fish?), and effortless tension, House by the River is quintessential Lang.

A ferociously suspenseful murder drama made terrifying by Fritz Lang's trademark meticulousness with set design and Louis Hayward's mad, Wellesian performance.

The murderer gets creepier and creepier as the film continues.

Fritz Lang set up some nice shots in this low budget Republic release (and a couple of very funny corny ones like the fish jumping recall) but apparently didn't bother to direct his actors very much as Louis Hayward acts as a one man wrecking crew, chewing every piece of scenery in sight. His over the top performance is the type of thing they used to parody on SCTV. Jane Wyatt is okay as his wife, but Lee Bowman seems embarrassed playing Hayward's crippled (he walks with a limp) brother. Billed as a "Gothic Mystery" its more gothic than mystery (in fact, there is NO mystery to the audience--only a few people in the film don't know who the murderer is).

"House by the River" is another one of those movies that never answers the oh-so-important question of 'Why should we care?' It's about as boring as you can imagine, underacted and sluggishly scripted. Fritz Lang is a director that I tend to rank above others from his era, but here he just misses the mark.
