Dave S In Fright, an early entry in the ‘pretty babysitter terrorized by unhinged madman’ sub-genre of horror movies, Susan George plays Amanda, a pretty babysitter terrorized by…well…an unhinged madman (Ian Bannen). The setting is appropriately spooky, the lighting is effective, and George is great in the lead role (along with Straw Dogs, ’71 was a pretty good year for her, but it was mostly downhill from there, sadly). On the flip side, there are a lot of low-angle shots that seem pointless, the flashy editing is nuts at times, and the final act feels like it takes forever to play itself out. All in all, as long as expectations aren’t too high, Fright isn’t a bad way to spend ninety minutes. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/25 Full Review 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.
