ABOUT THE FILM
Directed, produced, and co-written by Hammer legend Jimmy Sangster (THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN), this taut and tense psychological thriller proved to be the final entry in Hammer’s line of ‘mini-Hitchcocks’. Something of a departure from the Gothic horror for which Hammer is famed, it is nevertheless a highly effective chiller. It keeps the viewer guessing right to the nerve-wracking finale.
THE CAST
With an outstanding cast, including Judy Geeson (Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush), Joan Collins (Cosh Boy), Hammer stalwart Ralph Bates (Lust For A Vampire), and the formidable Peter Cushing (Dracula, The Curse of Frankenstein, Dr Who and the Daleks), FEAR IN THE NIGHT is a nightmarish 1970s Hammer gem. As the original tagline says, “It starts in the dark in throat-gripping fear… and the worst is yet to come”. Fear has never looked better!
PREMISE
While recovering from a nervous breakdown, Peggy (Judy Geeson) is suddenly attacked by a mysterious, one-armed figure. Disturbed by the incident, she and her new husband, Robert (Ralph Bates), relocate to the rural school where he teaches—only to find it eerily abandoned, except for the headmaster (Peter Cushing) and his wife (Joan Collins). Despite moving away from London to the isolated school grounds, Peggy is once again assaulted by the one-armed attacker. When Robert is sent back to London on behalf of the headmaster, Peggy is left alone to face her fears…
