In this atmospheric horror mystery from 1953, a young woman travels to a remote Scottish castle to learn why her fiancé has abruptly ended their engagement.

The castle’s vast hedge maze conceals a dark family secret that has cursed the estate for generations. Combining gothic elements, psychological tension, and striking visuals under the direction of William Cameron Menzies, “The Maze” stands as a unique entry in early postwar horror cinema, offering eerie atmosphere over overt terror.
