Fright (1971)

Fright aka I'm Alone and I'm Scared aka Night Legs

"Young babysitter Amanda arrives at the Lloyd residence to spend the evening looking after their young son. Soon after the Lloyds leave, a series of frightening occurrences in the gloomy old house have Amanda's nerves on edge. The real terror begins, however, when the child's biological father appears after recently escaping from a nearby mental institution."

Proof that us Brits can make a better film than "Halloween" and do it many years before! Well, alright so it's not really better but it is certainly more believable! There's no way that John Carpenter didn't have knowledge of this either.

Susan George looks amazing in it and acts her heart out... almost literally! She goes from just scared to full blown hysteria in about an hour! And then things start getting really sadistic...

It's also interesting to see George Cole and Dennis Waterman in a film together ages before they were partnered as Arthur and Terry in ITV's "Minder". Don't expect any humour here though.

I think the PG rating severely underestimates the scare factor of this movie. You'll be on the edge of your seat with suspense nearly all the way through.

The housebound action is all very claustophobic and atmospheric with a really good "Amicus" quality too even though it isn't actually by them. The director, Peter Collinson, also made "The Italian Job".

If you can find it anywhere this really is the perfect thing for Hallowe'en.
