Dead of Night is a classic horror anthology that effectively plays on those timeless fears.
Dead of Night offers one of the earliest examples of the anthology horror film, all wrapped in a decades-ahead-of-its-time framing narrative that nightmarishly twists reality inside-out.
Dead of Night, though, is constantly beset by small sparkles, with much more serious print damage being in evidence, making this a very below-par presentation for such a classic film.

Ealing's first post-war film was Dead of Night, one of the best films ever made about the supernatural.
It is without doubt one of the most satisfying entertainment's ever offered by Ealing, brilliantly conceived and wrought by a fusion of creative talent, in the spirit of teamwork and the cross-fertilisation of ideas for which it was renowned.
Dead of Night was for years shown outside the UK only in a crudely re-edited version, eliminating the Sally Ann Howes and the "golfing" vignettes.

What makes him especially effective is that not one word spills from his lips throughout the whole movie, the hulking shadow is reminiscent of the shape in HALLOWEEN and, thankfully, a million miles away from the wisecracking bores of the post-Freddy crowd.
DEAD OF NIGHT is by no means a complete bloodbath but the majority of the violence, albeit brief, is explicitly nasty - with vast torrents of the red stuff hissing into the night as Rook goes about his head collecting business.
And, there is one memorably horrid moment when a victim-to-be who hides from Rook, cowering in the shadows of the rowboat on the beach, who has to hold still as to not give himself away, has the blood from a freshly severed head pour from the bench above him and into his mouth.

 Guardian Unlimited Film | Reviews | Dead of night
Dead of Night is a portmanteau occult-horror flick made at Ealing Studios at the end of the Second World War by four directors, of whom two (Charles Crichton and Robert Hamer) were soon to make classic examples of what became known as the Ealing Comedy.
Paul Leni created the portmanteau horror film with the silent German expressionist picture, Waxworks (1924), and the form was to be revived on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1960s.
MacPhail, a key Ealing figure, was simultaneously involved in the preparation of Dead of Night, and the ventriloquist story unquestionably influenced Psycho.
