3.0 out of 5 starsSchool's Out!
By P. Hanson on 31 Oct. 2009
Format: DVD
Although made by Hammer, Fear In The Night (1972) is not a horror film, but is in fact a suspense thriller.

It was produced, directed and co-written by Hammer legend Jimmy Sangster.

At the centre of the story is 22 year old Londoner Peggy (Judy Geeson) who is attacked by someone with an artificial arm on the evening before she moves to the private boys school where her new husband Robert (Ralph Bates) teaches. Her landlady and doctor are sceptical when she informs them of her ordeal, mainly because they know she is recovering from a nervous breakdown. The following day she arrives at the idyllic rural boarding school. As she takes a stroll around the premises she hears the voices of children, even though all the pupils are on holiday. Is Peggy's mind playing tricks on her? Then she meets the Headmaster (Peter Cushing) who's a bit creepy and has a moustache and an artificial arm. Later that same day someone with an artificial arm attacks her again. She informs Robert, but he doesn't believe her, "I believe you think you were attacked". Peggy eventually puts two and two together and shoots the Headmaster. But, of course, there's a twist to the plot...

Besides from the gripping story, what really makes this film worth watching are the performances from the four main actors. Peter Cushing, as always, is on top form. What a pleasure it is watching this master at work. Amazingly, he only worked on this film for four days! Judy Geeson is well cast as the vulnerable young woman who is forced to question her own sanity in what must have been quite a demanding role. Joan Collins is perfect as seductive sculptress Molly. Joan is one of the all-time greats at playing bitches.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsThe Life of a Teachers Wife!
By j.r on 23 Feb. 2012
Format: DVD
Fear in the night is an excellent movie, but sadly one of Hammers last. The film features two Hammer regulars, Ralph Bates(Dear John) and Peter Cushing(Brides of Dracula,Star wars). The movie has a slow build up but once it gets going there's alot to appreciate and enjoy. Joan Collins is also very impressive in her role in one of her best performances. Judy Geeson is the main star, playing a woman recovering from a nervous breakdown, now newly married and being attacked by what would seem to be a one armed man(and that's just the beginning).
I also wonder if this film was an influence on Stephen Kings The Shining as there are similarities. I can't say too many of them here because I don't want to give too much away, but the deserted location, the sounds of people that used to be there, a married couple(nervous wife, suspicious Husband), a door being smashed in, and many other similarities. The plots are quite different but there are alot of things connecting the two tales.
If you're a horror or thriller fan then you should enjoy Fear in the Night.

3.0 out of 5 starsSurprising Late-Era Hammer
By Jamie McCambridge on 21 Jan. 2012
Format: DVD
Fear in the Night is an enjoyable, quirky little B-movie oddity from the latter years of the Hammer studio. The plot concerns a young woman, Peggy (Judy Geeson), who has recently married Robert (Ralph Bates) after a whirlwind romance. In the opening few minutes, Peggy is attacked by a housebreaker who creeps in through the bathroom window and tries to strangle her. She passes out, but on awakening finds that everybody dismisses her story as just a figment of her imagination - not, it would seem, for the first time.

You see, Peggy suffers from some unspecified mental illness, which apparently involves chronic shyness and paranoia (so somewhere on the far end of 'highly strung' in the 70s-British-horror-movie-psychology-ometer). Through occasional glimpses of sessions with an unseen psychiatrist and his terrifying wallpaper, we learn that this has been going on for some time.

However, now Richard wants to take Peggy away from her life of pouring tea for old dears and talking wistfully about not having any friends, so off they go to start a new life at a boys school in the middle of the countryside. Hooray! After a brief stop at a motorway service station somewhere in Soviet Russia, they arrive at their new home: a peaceful cottage in the Berkshire/ Surrey/ Sussex countryside, on the grounds of a mock-Tudor mansion.

But it slowly becomes apparent that all is not right with this musty, decrepit old school and its sinister headmaster (Peter Cushing). And that Peggy's stalker may not have been left behind with her old life after all.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsPromising, but not enough of Peter Cushing.
By RomanTiger on 9 Jan. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
With a great cast and a good premise, this thriller somehow feels like it should have been far more satisfying than it was. Having married quickly after suffering a nervous breakdown Peggy finds herself repeatedly attacked by a hidden assailant. She experiences strange phenomena like hearing children's voices coming from an empty room. Is something sinister afoot or is she just mentally unstable? Protagonist Peggy is very much in the mould of the melodramatic female of the age, and her character monopolises most of the screen time. Peter Cushing, so classy and expert at rescuing even the direst movie is under utilised here so that his minimal scenes are not enough to balance out her hysterics. The setting of an old school and the cast is very good, but somehow the way in which the film is put together falls just short of a really good watch . A commendable effort but ultimately not one to stand up to repeated viewings.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot one of the best.

A so so film , not dreadful but not brilliant either. Still worth watching though just to see the main stars. Give it a try it kills 90 minutes.

One of my favourite Hammer films - low budget (apart from the stellar cast) but a cunning Hitchcockian script makes up for that. Read more
