Fear in the Night (1947)

A Suspenseful Mystery Crime Noir


This one is a suspenseful little mystery-thriller - a crime noir. For me, this is one of the better, more mysterious mystery-thrillers I've seen from the 1940s. Worth watching if you like these types of films.

Vince Grayson (Kelly) is a young man who is easily hypnotized and he's had a horrible nightmare that he murdered someone and a mirrored room but it seemed all to real to him. "It was dream, no it's real" - he kept debating himself, yet he knew it had to be real so he enlisted the help of his detective brother-in-law Cliff to find out the answers.

The questions are: Did Vince really kill someone? Is Vince making all this up as reality when it was only a dream? Is Vince having premonitions? If Vince didn't kill anyone then who did?

8.5/10
