The Thirteenth Guest
BAFFLING! BREATHTAKING! CHILLS-THRILLS!
Directed by Albert Ray
Produced by Monogram Pictures
A pre-code mystery thriller built on paranoia and supernatural revenge, where past sins catch up with the guilty through a ritualistic, macabre reckoning.
Thirteen years after a dinner party in which the thirteenth guest failed to arrive, the remaining guests are being murdered one by one, and their bodies being placed at the same dinner table in the appropriate seats they occupied thirteen years prior.
