Daniel C. M The first at it's subgenre. Genuinely scary, thrilling and suspensul with a very quirky and innovative directing that might feel too much for some. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Carlos I One of the first babysitter-in-peril slasher flicks and it's as effective as any of the best from that category. Susan George is great (as usual) in conveying her terror, which makes us quite uneasy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review tim s "Fright" is definitely one of the first home invasion, baby sitter slasher movies. Starring a young Susan George and equally young Dennis Waterman, the British well known cast bring to life a disturbing story of a maniac intent on taking a young child from his home. "Fright" has some really creepy moments, particularly when Amanda, ( Susan George ) the babysitter, is alone in the house with the young child. The fear experienced by Amanda is conveyed to the audience with the use of some really good cinematography and sounds.  Although surpassed by more modern films in the slasher , home invasion genre "Fright" is still an atmospheric, disturbing movie that is a very enjoyable watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Fright, Is An Early Take On The Home Invasion Thrillers Which Became Popular In The Years Following This Release. Although Original For It's Time It's A Piece Of Horror Thriller Which Can Be Easily Forgotten But One That Can Be Watched A Number Of Times As It Is Entertaining. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member another let's get the baby sitter tale Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The thing about 70s thrillers is despite the more cheesy elements they still have the capacity to entertain and this film is a real gem of that period. Director Peter Collinson is best known for the Italian Job and here he cratfs a neat little thriller with a nice line in nasty and some terrific performances from its main cast. Susan George plays Amanda a baby sitter who is left alone to look after a couples young son. Trouble is the wifes Ex husband has just escaped from an Asylum and is turning up to wreak terror on all those involved. Ian Bannen gives an outstanding performance as the over the edge Brian ,one minute he is calm and cool the next a goggle eyed maniac ,Collinson uses his camera and these two central performances to ratchet everything up to 11 . Honor Blackman is good too as the distressed wife and George Cole and Dennis Waterman apear although thier is only gallows humour on display here. An unlike some thrillers the ending is suprisingly downbeat for its time ,i f you like Brit thrillers you could do a lot worse than seeking this winner out.
