Murders in the Rue Morgue
LOVE and MURDER are the two consuming passions of the Rue Morgue!
Directed by Gordon Hessler
Produced by American International Pictures
A Gothic mystery set in early 20th-century Paris that blends theatrical Grand Guignol with psychological horror, haunted by past crimes and present paranoia.
In Paris, in the beginning of the Twentieth Century, Cesar Charron owns a theater at the Rue Morgue where he performs the play "Murders in the Rue Morgue" with his wife Madeleine Charron, who has dreadful nightmares. When there are several murders by acid of people connected to Cesar, the prime suspect of Inspector Vidocq would be Cesar's former partner Rene Marot. But Marot murdered Madeleine's mother many years ago and committed suicide immediately after.
