(NOIR) Bewitched - 1945 ***


'Bewitched' is a very strange film. I'm not sure it should really be called a noir, because it has none of the stereotypical points that would make it one. It follows a young girl named Joan, seemingly possessed by a voice in her head that forces her to abandon her home, family and fiance and run away to New York. It controls her actions and tells her what to do. Even when the thing it wants her to do will produce tragic consequences. It's very odd, and I guess it comes across quite well. One of the last scenes is actually quite terrifying.
