Good Classic Hammer Film
The movie does build an amount of suspense and it does have it's thrilling moments. It makes a wonderful late-at-night film. Not overly scary but definitely suspenseful and thrilling!
8.5/10
Intriguing and Mysterious Thriller by Hammer
"Fear in the Night" is an intriguing and mysterious thriller by Hammer with Judy Geeson in the lead role. The storyline is good but could have more characters to increase the mystery of the identity of the attacker. But it is worthwhile watching this thriller. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Um Grito Dentro da Noite" ("A Scream in the Night")
After recovering from a nervous breakdown, a young woman goes to stay with her teacher-husband at a seedy British boys' school where further terrors await her.
Old-school terror.
Once there, though, poor Peggy soon realises that, even though she is now miles from the city, she still isn't safe: the one-armed maniac appears to have followed her to her new home...
It shouldn't take seasoned fans of psychological thrillers very long to suss that the mysterious goings on in Hammer's Fear In the Night are intended to turn the protagonist completely insane, drive her to murder, or both. But although the film's plot doesn't earn many points for originality, being heavily reminiscent of the French thriller Les Diaboliques, director Jimmy Sangster delivers enough startling imagery (Cushing's shattered glasses; a gloved prosthetic arm) and well-handled scenes of suspense to ensure that the film is certainly never dull: from its wonderful opening credits sequence, in which the camera pans across the school to eventually reveal the legs of a man hanging from a tree, to its tense denouement, Fear in the Night is a solid slice of macabre entertainment.
Schooled...
After moving back in with her husband at a boy's school, Peggy meets the headmaster (Peter Cushing), who happens to have a very familiar disability! It's not long before Peggy is attacked again.
FEAR IN THE NIGHT is a wicked little mystery-thriller from Hammer Studios that keeps the viewer guessing. Ms. Geeson is believable in her tormented role. Cushing is brilliant as usual. Joan Collins co-stars in one of the best roles she's ever played!...
