The Lilith Chapter. Directed by Lance Comfort and written by Max Catto, who also penned the original play They Walk Alone, Daughter of Darkness features Anne Crawford, Maxwell Reed, Siobhan McKenna, George Thorpe, Barry Morse, Liam Redmond, Cyril Smith, and Honor Blackman in its cast. Clifton Parker composed the music, and Stanley Pavey handled the cinematography. Emmie Beaudine (McKenna) is not well-regarded by the women of her Irish village; something about her provokes unease and even fear among them. Following a confrontation with a man from a traveling fair, she’s sent to live on a farm in North Yorkshire, England. This relocation proves opportune. Once at the Tallent family farm, Emmie appears content, but nearby women remain suspicious of her, and the reappearance of someone from her past triggers a descent into despair and danger. It's an unusual suspenseful film, something that might appeal to some more than others; it resists easy categorization. It isn’t overtly horror or noir, which may explain why certain genre enthusiasts have been let down by it. However, if you are willing to accept Comfort and Catto’s dreamlike setting, there's a rewarding experience here—a layered examination of a character intertwined with observations on female agency and even elements suggesting the supernatural, all presented in shades of gray. The film also contains significant criminal activity; Emmie Beaudine is portrayed as a detached killer, her reasons for rejecting male sexual contact deliberately left ambiguous in an emotionally unsettling state. The black-and-white photography creates a compelling visual mood that complements the shadowy issues within the story. Several scenes stand out, including the lively carnival sequences, the unsettling sound of an organ being played, and particularly memorable moments involving Thorn, the Alsatian dog—a genuine war hero (his story is worth looking up), who plays a vital role in the narrative. The acting is generally strong, with Blackman making a noteworthy appearance in her first credited part; however, it’s McKenna's mesmerizing performance that truly dominates the film, and much of her visual storytelling is remarkable to witness. It's a movie you won’t easily forget, whether you find it enjoyable or not. 9/10
