Review of Mysterious Intruder

The first four "Whistler" films may have been low-budget, but they were neither cheap nor dull; "Mysterious Intruder" is both. It plays more like a run-of-the-mill private-eye film, and the revelation of the killer(s) is pretty ho-hum as well. It doesn't really feel like a part of the series, apart from the ironic ending, which at least remains intact. The cast is pretty unmemorable this time as well; only an uncredited Kathleen Howard, as a vaguely threatening middle-aged lady, manages to make something of her role in about five minutes of screen time. The film is not without interest - however all its predecessors in the "Whistler" series are significantly better. ** out of 4.
