The Darkroom 1.04.A

A Quiet Funeral

starring Eugene Roche, Robert F. Lyons

directed by Curtis Harrington

Marty (Robert F. Lyons) kills Charlie (Eugene Roche) but makes it look like an accident. Marty takes the money that Charlie had just collected for a job he did. Marty thinks he's in the clear but he plays it safe only to discover that he isn't free and clear of Charlie.

Thoughts

This is the second of three stories of this series that were written by Robert Bloch. I wrote a little bit about Bloch's credits in my notes about 1.02.A The Bogeyman Will Get You.

Some of the acting in this episode was laughably bad but I was intrigued by the setup. The ending was a little too abrupt and didn't make sense to me unless there was a supernatural angle, which there didn't seem to be.
