And Soon the Darkness (1970)
Member Rating:  
Two British nurses -- Jane (Pamela Franklin) and Cathy (Michele Dotrice) -- take a vacation in the French countryside. Jane actually wants to tour the countryside, while Cathy wants to spend the time enticing men. After an argument while in a small French village, Jane leaves. When she returns, Cathy is gone. And if that weren't worry enough, it appears that the handsome young man Cathy flirted with on their journey is apparently a sex-crazed serial killer. In a panic, Jane tries to get some help from the villagers, but the townspeople are curiously uncooperative. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Hey, it's not a masterpiece, but this was a nice find. We watched it looking for some creepy atmosphere and tension, and that's what we got. Sure, there were a few moments that were a little bit eye-rolling in this post-modern horror age, but there were also a few really good scares, a lot of suspense and some convincing performances. It's a film that is nearly wordless, relying on visuals and ambient sound instead, and it works extremely well. I'm glad I saw it, and would recommend it for those looking for bloodless chills or a really groovy early '70's feel. Dig that title song!

An interesting premise suffers from a slow paced execution. I guess the director was trying to build suspense with some long, drawn out scenes without any dialogue, but instead it made me keep hitting the fast forward in order to get to some action. Fairly tame (by today's standards) as far as the violence goes, and not scary either, especially if you've seen a lot of horror films. Plus, the title is misleading, since the entire movie takes place during the day.
