Rural Noir

'The Woman On The Beach' (1947) is set on lonely shoreline. It's a mysterious noir with Joan Bennett, Robert Ryan and Charles Bickford in it. Superb IMO.

Storm Fear (1955)

Moonrise (1948)
Road House (1948)
Moontide (1942)
The Girl in Black Stockings (1957)
Clash by Night (1952)

The last halves of On Dangerous Ground (1951) and Nightfall (1957).

I'll be watching Moonrise tonight.Wonderful. I love that strange, moody film. A most atypical role for Allyn Joslyn, and he is perfect.

Would The Night of the Hunter qualify as rural noir? Aside from Lillian Gish and the children.
