You can't beat this film for hair raising chills and eerie atmosphere. A series of short stories connected through the framing device of a group of people, gathered in a rural English home, relating stories of strange happenings. There are two weak segments that have been deleted from some editions of this film. The Golf vignette seems out of place in this film, although it stars one of the most delightful English team of light comedians, Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne. The Christmas party with a very young Sally Anne Howes is not on par with the rest of the movie. The remaining three will chill you. Much has been written about the Redgraves ventriloquist story.....there is no need to repeat it here except to say that it will absolutely scare the socks off of you. My favorite is "The Haunted Mirror" with Googie Withers, a wonderful actress. It puts the nerves on edge and has a dark, brooding quality that is very effective. In a small part as the antiques dealer is Esme Percy, one of the unsung greats of British film. If you like him here, then see "Murder", an early Hitchcock talkie which showcases his eccentric talent. The framing story which features Mervyn Johns as the confused and frightened man trapped in a dream is top drawer. It will frighten you as much as the short stories contained within the overall film. The very end will blow you away!! This is British cinema at its best and is essential viewing for the movie buff.
ma preteruju malo, komi, nemoj da se primas, ali film jeste vrlo dobar, svakako ga nabavi [ako nisi]
nabavljeno, pogledano, scena s golfom jeste malo nategnuta ali kraj je zaista exlozivan :lol:
a tek glazba
Gledao sam Dead of Night, ali sa mrtvim vijetnamskim veteranom koji se vraca kuci... naravno, film nije iz cetres' pete... Cini mi se da mu je alternativni naziv Deathdream.
uglavnom nema veze s topikom 8)
