You’ve never met her type before… a wicked sensation as the lonely girl in room 809!
Don’t Bother to Knock (1952) follows a troubled young woman hired as a babysitter in a New York hotel, where her fragile emotional state begins to unravel. As a disillusioned airline pilot encounters her and senses the danger building, the night turns increasingly tense and unpredictable. This psychological noir blends claustrophobic atmosphere and brittle character study in a quietly unsettling portrait of instability and longing.
