In this shining early example of what would notoriously become known as the “slasher movie,” teenage babysitter Amanda (screen goddess Susan George, Sudden Terror, Straw Dogs) arrives at the Lloyd home to watch their young son one fateful evening. It seems that the strangely nervous Mrs. Lloyd is hiding a secret—a killer secret that has just escaped from a nearby insane asylum and is now desperately trying to get inside the house! What must Amanda endure to survive the ultimate night of Fright? Directed by cult British maverick Peter Collinson (The Italian Job, The Penthouse) and written by Tudor Gates (The Vampire Lovers), Fright is a midnight-movie classic, an exercise in sheer savage peril and pure unhinged terror! Also starring Ian Bannen (Doomwatch) and the bewitching Honor Blackman (Goldfinger, Moment to Moment).
