Our “Noirvember” celebration continues with Joseph H. Lewis’s 1955 masterpiece, the story of an obsessed cop’s pursuit of a ruthless gangster (and the collateral damage along the way):

Orson Welles’s 1947 thriller is a must-add for your “Noirvember” watchlist – and a rich match of style and substance.

George A. Romero’s mis-marketed and misunderstood 1972 film is a fascinating example of a genre filmmaker stretching his legs, applying his visual and tonal acumen to a film less about the occult than women’s liberation.

John D. Hancock’s 1971 film (now streaming on The Criterion Channel) sounds like a slasher movie, but plays like a psychological drama.

Dario Argento’s feature debut – now streaming on Tubi – is also a fine (and spooky) entry point into the world of giallo.

Robert Siodmak’s 1949 thriller (now streaming on the Criterion Channel) is a master class in noir construction, characterization, and mood.
