Review of Dead of Night (1974) by Lexi . — 12 Apr 2009
Deathdream is an absolute masterpiece from director Bob Clark, a truly chilling horror film with an outstanding performance from Richard Backus in the lead role. Following the standard horror story of "The Monkey's Paw" but with a military twist, this film challenges our perceptions of the war and its dehumanizing effect on those involved in it.
With some unbelievably horrific scenarios and a genuine sense of pity for the lead character, Clark weaves a tragic tale that is matched by few. My highest recommendation.
