The House of Secrets is a 1929 American mystery film directed by and starring Joseph Striker, Marcia Manning and Elmer Grandin.[1] The screenplay was written by Adeline Leitzbach, based on the 1926 novel of the same name by Sydney Horler. The film is considered lost. It was remade in 1936.[2]
An American named Barry Wilding travels to England to check out a castle he has inherited there. After hearing of mysterious goings on at the castle, he and his detective friend Joe Blake suspect that a Chinese man named Wu Chang is behind it all.
Critic Troy Howarth stated "(The film) is a variation on the formula of a mystery surrounding a lavish inheritance....It was apparently an unremarkable mystery thriller with incidental horror elements."
