*Murders in the Rue Morgue* (1971) is a gothic horror film directed by Gordon Hessler, loosely inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s classic short story. Set in early 20th-century Paris, it stars Jason Robards as a theater director whose macabre Grand Guignol productions are haunted by a series of real-life murders echoing his staged horrors. With Christine Kaufmann and Herbert Lom in supporting roles, the film blends psychological mystery, masked killers, and surreal dream sequences in a highly stylized reimagining of Poe’s tale.
