Schrecken in der Nacht

Please, don't forget that this feature is a TV one. And I expected far far worse. The directing is very tense, taut and riveting despite the fact that the scheme here has already been told many times before. Every TV movie is not as good as this one. But that's not the best piece of work ever, of course. Don't wait to see a masterpiece either. Bob Urich and Lesley Ann down are pretty convincing, the killers characters very good too and, I repeat, the overall picture more than acceptable. I have seen far far worse.

The viewers of this movie have no chance of figuring out what and who's behind everything that happens. You've no idea of who the bad guy is until the last scene, although you can sort of figure it out anyway, because as the end is approaching, you think that if they're going to give you an explanation at all, it must be that explanation. But the motive and the villain's feelings aren't explained good enough, though. There's nothing really upsetting or frightening or anything that makes you think and reflect in this movie. There's actually no point with it at all and it's only an excuse to show Lesley-Anne Down walking around looking nervous, troubled or scared. Which she is quite good at, though.
