The Murderer Lives at Number 211942

Horror Vault's take

In wartime Paris, a sharp-minded police commissaire closes in on a serial killer whose trail leads to the most unlikely of addresses — a quirky boarding house full of eccentric suspects. With a sardonic sense of humour threading through the menace, the film balances whodunit charm with genuine unease. Director Henri-Georges Clouzot's feature debut crackles with wit and noir atmosphere, turning domestic ordinariness into a breeding ground for dread. Every resident is a potential monster, and trust is a luxury no one can afford.
