Devil's Bait is a 1959 black and white British second feature ('B')[1] drama film directed by Peter Graham Scott and starring Geoffrey Keen, Jane Hylton and Gordon Jackson.

The council rat catchers are not available, and the switchboard girl gives Frisby a lead on a cheap rat-catcher – Mr Love, who in fact has no qualifications whatsoever.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Here is a reasonable attempt to depart from the stereotyped and do something more unusual in the field of the second-feature suspense thriller.

The plot starts a little slowly and there are a few improbabilities, but it is simply and effectively put over.”[3] In British Sound Films David Quinlan said: "Distinctive, quite suspenseful little drama, with well-drawn characters".

The excellent performances of Hylton and Keen create a wholly convincing sense of two people whose relationship is under the strain of everyday irritations and who are imperceptibly drawn closer by the near disaster in which they are caught up.
