Five is a 1951 American independent horror/science-fiction film that was produced, written and directed by Arch Oboler. The film stars William Phipps, Susan Douglas Rubeš, James Anderson, Charles Lampkin and Earl Lee. Five was distributed by Columbia Pictures.

Production

The unusual house that is the setting for most of the film was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and was the separate guesthouse of the ranch of the film's producer, director and writer Arch Oboler, located at 32436 Mulholland Highway in Malibu, California. The house burned to the ground, with only its foundations remaining, during the 2018 Woolsey Fire.

Actor Charles Lampkin came to Oboler's notice when reading the prose poem "The Creation" by James Weldon Johnson on a Los Angeles television program. Oboler convinced him to include excerpts of the poem in the final script for Five.

Oboler shot the film for only $75,000, employing as his crew a small group of recent graduates from the University of Southern California film school and starring five unknown actors. Upon the film's completion, Oboler sold it to Columbia Pictures for a large profit.
