ストーリー
In Charthurst Green, Kent, 1966, Pauline Cox accompanies Mike Robins to a village cricket match but leaves early due to boredom. She wanders off and ends up at the local railway station where she meets the talkative, hunchbacked station master who invites her for tea. The station master's assistant, Ewen, arrives and proceeds to kill a rabbit in Pauline's presence, upsetting her. As she heads back to the match through an apple orchard, Ewen attacks her. When she tries to fight him off, he accidentally strangles her. Later that evening, the hunchback discovers Ewen with Pauline's body in his shack and helps him bury the corpse in the orchard. Years later, after the police discover and exhume the body, Ewen confesses. The film ends with a forced, anti-climactic resolution.

概要
Orchard End Murder is a British mini-feature directed by Christian Marnham, released in 1981. It's a mix of genres, combining elements of comedy, drama, horror, and thriller set against the backdrop of an English village in the 1960s. The film follows Pauline Cox, who accompanies her friend Mike to a cricket match but ends up meeting two peculiar men at the local railway station - a talkative hunchbacked station master and his simple-minded assistant Ewen. A tragic incident occurs when Ewen attacks and accidentally kills Pauline in an apple orchard. The story is narrated through carefully textured camera work by Peter Jessop, initially creating an atmosphere of picturesquely sinister suspense. However, the resolution of the anecdote is criticized as forced and anti-climactic.
