Summary
Orchard End Murder is a British mini-feature directed by Christian Marnham, released in 1981. It's a mix of genres, combining elements of comedy, drama, horror, and thriller set against the backdrop of an English village in the 1960s. The film follows Pauline Cox, who accompanies her friend Mike to a cricket match but ends up meeting two peculiar men at the local railway station - a talkative hunchbacked station master and his simple-minded assistant Ewen. A tragic incident occurs when Ewen attacks and accidentally kills Pauline in an apple orchard. The story is narrated through carefully textured camera work by Peter Jessop, initially creating an atmosphere of picturesquely sinister suspense. However, the resolution of the anecdote is criticized as forced and anti-climactic.
