A Hammer film from the latter part of the studio's days. A woman with a history of mental illness is beset by visitations of a person in trench-coat & gloves who repeatedly acosts her, but is she just suffering from delusions again? very VERY slow moving.
My Grade: C-
Extras: just a commentary & the theatrical trailer

Ok, I honestly don't understand all these bad avaliations and this low rating. I wouldn't have seen this - and some other low rated hammer cilms - if it wasn't for my Hammer dvd box set. I loved the story from beginning to end, it's pleasing to watch, it is thrilling and mysterious, and though the endih is somehow a little disappointing, I still enjoy the way it went. Judy Geeson is at her best here and god i love Ralph Bates in here as well. Don't listen to thesw bad avaliations, I realy recommend you to give it a try. Okay, might not be one of hammer's masterpieces but come on! Probably even one of my favorites to be honest. Also I believe it's one of the most unfairly underrated films I've seen. Had to watch it again and i confirm it! I love it.

While recovering from a nervous breakdown, Peggy Heller (Judy Geeson) is stalked and attacked by a one-armed man. Not surprisingly, due to Peggy's mental state, no one believes her.
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!...

A great story and cast! A suspenseful horror-thriller! Worth watching if you like the classics! The casting in this movie is wonderful - everyone was great in this movie. Judy Geeson plays Peggy Heller so wonderfully... I felt so sorry for her. Ralph Bates plays Robert Heller a man who seemly is in-love with his young wife Peggy. Joan Collins plays Molly Carmichael - snooty rich woman. Peter Cushing is The Headmaster Michael Carmichael - a strange gentleman.
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
