I loved it! Thrilling, immersing, non-linear script with classic horror themes but also kind of meta! [spoiler] The circular ending and, just before that, the nightmarish interconnection of the stories shot in a more expressionistic style, wow! [/spoiler] A classic anthology film, innovative and precursor of favorites such as the TV shows Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955) and The Twilight Zone (1959)

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Dead of Night’: 1. I can maybe appreciate how this movie might have been a predecessor to bigger and better anthologies, but the tales were incredibly basic. Textbook ghost stories with little substance. 2. The end of the ventriloquist tale was fairly creepy, but I was still left scratching my head. 3. I was hoping for a stronger ending and a better payoff. Was the main character [spoiler]stuck in a loop[/spoiler]? And why would he [spoiler]kill that guy[/spoiler]? I dunno… this all felt very thrown together.

A supernatural anthology with a wraparound story that actually is a sum of its parts. The best two segments include a mirror that reflects a room where a murder was committed and a ventriloquist with a malevolent dummy. This is a spooky classic with one of the freakiest finishes I've ever seen. I must have watched the final nightmare sequence four or five times because I couldn't get over how strange it was. If you want to watch an effects-laden or gory horror movie, do not watch this. This is all about mystery, mood and atmosphere

Ever since I was a small child I have loathed ventriloquist's dummies. They put the fear of death into me - and I am fairly certain that seeing this film in the 1970s is to blame. It's a compendium of four stories told by guests at a farmhouse, and is all kicked off by Mervyn Johns ("Craig") who has More
