Gordon Glenwright, born in 1918 in Australia, made a notable appearance in Inn of the Damned (1975), where he embodies the unsettling atmosphere of grindhouse cinema. His background as a stage manager and playwright informs his performance, bringing depth to the film's narrative. Known for his versatility across stage and screen, Glenwright’s work in this cult classic highlights the raw energy of the era, contributing to the film's reputation within the exploitation genre.
Inn of the Damned
A sheriff investigates why the guests at a local hostelry check in, but never check out. A most unusual Australian low-budget movie that is deceptively simple in appearance. Terry Bourke, to whom the Australian film industry owes a huge debt, directs his actors with a deft touch. The multi-talented Bourke is also responsible for the insightful, often witty script. The much-loved John Meillon puts in an eye catching performance and it is a pity he isn't used in more scenes. Highly recommended.
