Night of Fear (1973)
Early 70s gem from Australia
25 November 2014 - 4 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Fearless editing and sound design from an unknown Australian filmmaker in the early 70s. Night of Fear - It's not a completely lost treasure but it does contain incredible composition, editing and brave use of sound (none being dialogue) skills throughout.
It would've been a hard fight to get any distribution- not so much because of subject matter or the violence, but of the techniques used that would not have been endorsed by standard filmmaking at that time. What was more impressive is the quality of the print they had for the telecine transfer! It was almost spotless!
Terry Bourke (19 April 1940 - 2002) I salute you.
