A gripping wraparound narrative escorts us through a variety of tales, gradually building up dread, with one perfectly timed dose of comic relief before delivering the most chilling. The main character’s nightmarish traversal through all of the stories towards the end is a particular highlight.

Enjoying the posts Baka.

I only saw Dead of night for the first time last Christmas Eve and i was a little disappointed with it. However something stuck with me and i've seen it twice since, getting better with each viewing and i can definitely appreciate it's classic status.
