Dead of Night/The Queen of Spades Reviews
Two British movies
"Dead of Night" is a thrilling horror movie with wonderful actors. It has an episodic structure; each member of a group gathered at a country house tells an uncanny story, one more gripping than the next (with one comic exception to relieve the tension). Then the conclusion has a startling twist.
"Queen of Spades", based on a Pushkin short story, is also good, but not quite as effective. Edith Evans gives an impressive performance as the old Countess, but the direction is not as interesting as it is in "Dead of Night".
Dead of Night
A literate, British chiller that is more unsettling than scary. Though Rod Serling is not around to confirm it, this could have inspired his wildly inventive Twilight Zone series which followed over a decade later. Hang on particularly for Michael Redgrave's paralyzing turn as a ventriloquist whose dummy controls him.
