Miedo en la noche

In London, the twenty-two year-old Peggy Heller (Judy Geeson) meets and marries the school teacher Robert Heller (Ralph Bates) after recovering from a nervous breakdown. Robert works in the countryside in a private school owned by the headmaster Michael Carmichael (Peter Cushing), who is married with Molly Carmichael (Joan Collins). On the eve of moving to the country with her husband, Peggy spends the night at the board house of Mrs. Beamish (Gillian Lind) and is attacked by a man with mechanical arm in her room. Mrs. Beamish calls the doctor but they do not believe in Peggy. On the next morning, she heads with Robert to the country and moves to the cottage in the school. But soon Peggy is attacked by the same man but Robert does not believe in her. Then she meets The Headmaster and realizes that he has a mechanical arm. What will happen next?

"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")
