The overall suspense and mystery of the story for Fear in the Night is particularly strong. The atmosphere is haunting, putting me a bit in mind of The Cure's Charlotte Sometimes video, where a young girl has a supernatural time travel experience to 100 years earlier wandering around an empty boarding school. I wonder if this film was one the inspirations for that music video.
Joan Collins is the usual evil Joan Collins caricature she portrays in nearly every film I've ever seen her in, but I must admit she was STUNNING. Collins was nearly 40 at the time of the release of this film and she barely looks maybe 30 at most.
Judy Geeson is a complete rock star with her meaningful silences and horrified expressions.
