Night Watch (1973)


Directed by Brian G. Hutton
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Magnetic Video)

Elizabeth Taylor sees a dead body in the window of the abandoned house next to her garden. The police are called but cannot find anything. It happens again, with the same results, only now the police think she is crazy and will not respond to any more of her phone calls. Liz thinks her husband is having an affair with her best friend and they are trying to drive her insane so they can have her committed and leave the country with her money. That's what I thought as well, but the twist ending proves otherwise. Some good nightmare/flashback sequences, plenty of thunder and lightning, an abandoned old house and a murder mystery make for an entertaining rainy night thriller.
