October Moth is a 1960 British second feature[2] drama film directed and written by John Kruse and starring Lana Morris and Lee Patterson.

[3] In an isolated Yorkshire farm house, a deranged young man imagines a car crash victim is his long deceased mother.

[4] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Stilted dialogue and tame direction fail to sustain one's interest in this somewhat pointless essay in Grand Guignol psychopathology.

Lee Patterson manages a surprisingly believable performance as the distracted Finlay and the acting generally is adequate, but one cannot escape the feeling that everyone concerned is groping aimlessly in the dark.

The film is expressionistic in its use of light and shadow, while jarring camerawork lends credence to Lee Patterson's portrayal of a tormented young man, aesthetic qualities that are rarely associated with this level of production.
