Boy am I in the minority here! As of this review, I have watched five of the six Inner Sanctum movies (still have to view "Pillow of Death"), and I thought it was the absolute worst of the five. It seems to me that most of these movies are about what a sap, or a jerk, or an idiot, Lon Chaney's characters are. He never seems to really know what's going on, at least until it's too late, making him less than sympathetic. In "Strange Confession" I had no sympathy for him at all, especially after he lets himself be suckered into going back to work for his horrible boss, and then, on top of this, lets himself be suckered again into going to South America, leaving his long-suffering wife to the clutches of his boss. How blind can you be? Also, I hated the ending (spoiler alert, spoiler alert). I would've had his wife kill the boss in self-defense. But no, Mister Idiot has to blunder in there and kill the boss himself. Maybe they got him off with an insanity plea. Bottom line, this was not "horror" or even "mystery," just melodrama and, worse, extremely boring and depressing. In case you are wondering, I gave it two stars because I watched it to the bitter end -- I reserve one star for films I can't even finish watching. Now you can all start clicking "not helpful."
