Night of Fear (1973)
2/10
An Oddity, But Not a Good One
5 January 2023
I have to admit, this is a strange movie. There is no dialog whatsoever, which is odd.

Compunding this, it's short -- well under an hour. Turns out it was made as a pilot for an Aussie TV series, but then it was banned in Australia! Not sure why. There's nothing overly graphic in it.

Some people have cut and pasted - verbatim - sections from Wiki saying this movie is similar to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's not. Not in the slightest. Not sure where that idea came from.

In any case, it's just not a good movie. The premise is not worked out real well and it's rather dumb anyway. The direction is frenetic and if you don't get a headache from it, the crazy musical score will definitely do the job.

Honestly, I was bored most of the time and that's saing something since the running time is 40 some minutes!
