Dead of Night (1945)



An architect senses impending doom as his half-remembered recurring dream turns into reality, when the guests at the country house encourage him to stay as they take turns telling supernatural tales.

Magnificently conceived anthology movie, four directors pull it all together, with memorable and some frightening moments and a great cast.

Halliwell****: "Chillingly successful and influential compendium of the macabre, especially effective in its low-key handling of the linking sequence with its circular ending."

Maltin****: "Classic thriller...final sequence with Redgrave as a schizophrenic ventriloquist is a knockout."
