Review of Wait Until Dark (1967) by Cecilia C — 13 Mar 2009
Many people consider this one of the most frightening films they have ever seen. I wouldn?t exactly go that far?but for a suspense film, it?s top-notch. Maybe one of the reasons some folks see it as more of a horror movie than a thriller is that the main character is blind and it is a little more dastardly to taunt and threaten a person with a disability of some sort.
The blind person, in this case, is Audrey Hepburn, who is quite convincing as a person without sight. You never really think?oh, well she?s just acting. You actually believe her blindness? forgetting that she?s Hepburn and, of course, not really blind.
Hepburn?s boyfriend gets unintentionally tangled in a drug smuggling ring and through a series of events, the man looking for his drugs comes after Hepburn. Even though the entire films packs suspense, the finale is the part that really will have you jittering if your seat.
