One Night Stand (1978) Thriller extraordinary !

One Night Stand (1978) is not the only movie of this name and it was produced for TV viewing so that it "got lost" in the confusion over the other better known movie on general release. This is a shame as this excellent production is without a doubt the best thriller I have ever seen. My wife and I saw it at home and it begins innocently enough but progresses to a terrifying climax which had us locking the doors and drawing the curtains we were so scared. No other film has been able to reduce us to this level of terror, and most of the story is set within a small unit and so is not a big-money production. Unfortunately the video is no longer available but if anyone has one on VHS I would love to buy it.
