Audience Member An insurance investigator visits a mansion after being invited to investigate a strange rug burning. After a discussion with the family, it is decided these seemingly ghostly goings-on which include the family pictures being turned sideways and an attempt to set a rug alight. The teenage girl who resides there was banned from her school for acting out, which her parents attribute to being possessed by a demon. A psychic investigator arrives and attempts to exorcise the poltergeist with his ghost-busting equipment. Comedic, yet not very funny, horror-themed, yet not very scary. This was "meh" when compared with better comedy-horrors of the era (e.g. King of the Zombies, Spooks Run Wild, Spook Busters, the Abbott and Costello films, etc.). Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining "B" British movie, it effectively mixes comedy and suspense. Good cast and nicely acted. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member When his daughter (Vaughan) becomes the conduit for a fire-starting poltergeist, Mr. Prescott (Drayton) teams with an insurance adjuster (Harker) and a paranormal investigator to annoy the spirit and drive it out. "Things Happen at Night" is a weak attempt at a horror comedy. It features a nice cast of actors who labor mightily with the bad script, but who ultimately can't overcome the material. There's very little reason to wach this film unless you're the world's biggest fan of comedian Gordon Harker. (I came across this film in the "[url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BQ5IXW?ie=UTF8&tag=stevemillesdo-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000BQ5IXW"]Dark Crimes[/url]" movie collection. It's an odd choice for inclusion in that set. It's out of place in a collection of film noir and detective movies, and it's not a movie that's worth preserving.)
