Hammer legend Jimmy Sangster (writer of The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula, Taste of Fear) returns to the director’s chair for Fear in the Night — a chilling psychological thriller steeped in menace, mystery, and quintessential Hammer style.
When newly married Peggy (Judy Geeson) moves with her husband (Ralph Bates) to a secluded boys’ school in the English countryside, she hopes to leave her troubled past behind. But her fragile peace is shattered by a series of terrifying encounters with a one-armed assailant — and by the school’s enigmatic headmaster (Peter Cushing), whose charm conceals something far darker.
As reality begins to blur and paranoia takes hold, Peggy is drawn into a nightmarish web of deceit, gaslighting, and mortal danger — leading to a shocking climax that only Hammer could deliver.
Stylish, suspenseful, and psychologically charged, Fear in the Night stands as a masterclass in slow-burn terror — a spine-tingling journey into fear, obsession, and the fragile line between reality and madness.
