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. Upon arrival, she finds him strangely aged and withdrawn, living among secretive servants and forbidding surroundings. 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.
