Overview
Fear in the Night is a film released in 1972 that falls under the mystery, thriller, and horror genres, with a runtime of one hour and thirty-four minutes. The story follows Peggy Heller, who required a long time to recover from the trauma of a brutal physical assault she suffered in her youth. After marrying Robert, he provides her with love and reassurance, and the couple settles down in a pretty house located on the grounds of a public school where Robert serves as a master. However, the headmaster of the school is not what he appears to be, and Peggy becomes convinced that he intends to harm her. This raises the question of whether her fear is merely a figment of her tortured imagination or if there are forces actively working to manipulate her anxieties with fatal consequences. The film carries a PG rating and had a United States release date of October first, nineteen seventy-four.
