Mini-review: Dead Of Night (1945)

Dead Of Night
Directed by Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden & Robert Hamer



One of the earliest horror anthologies, and from what I've seen, probably the best. Though some of the segments are more than a little silly (meaning one of them is...I just didn't want to single it out), the movie as a whole is solid, and often actually quite unsettling. Everything ties in together here in a way that most anthologies fail to do, making it one of the better executed examples of the method that I've seen. A very creepy, atmospheric predecessor to The Twilight Zone, and more than adequate Halloween viewing.

★★★★★★★★☆☆
