The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Slow moving, but at times stylish horror film about Elizabeth Taylor thinking she's losing her mind after witnessing a murder out her window and everyone telling her she's crazy and seeing things. The film was directed by Brian G. Hutton, who made some solid films, such as "Where Eagles Dare" and "Kelly's Heroes," and brings more style and flair to this film than I would have expected based upon his previous work. It's his surreal and dream-like touches that elevate this tired and played out story. Liz Taylor tries way too hard and comes off as over-the-top in not a good way (unless you're into campy performances, which I kind of am and can appreciate in a so-bad-it's-good sort of way). Laurence Harvey gives a competent though uninteresting performance as Taylor's husband. On the plus side, the film features a fine musical score by John Cameron, but overall this plot has already been done many times before and done much better. FUN FACT! This film was Taylor's only performance in a horror film.

Seemingly dreadful film with Elizabeth Taylor seeing a murder committed in the house next to her. Laurence Harvey, as her husband, spends the movie trying to get her under control and Billie Whitelaw is their house guest ready to embark upon a position in Scotland.Then there is the eerie Mr. Appleby who lives next door and the Taylor character is suspicious of him from the very beginning of this very weird film.We see scenes of murder taking place and the local police refusing to believe what Taylor claims she is seeing.The ending is most gory with Miss Taylor on the rampage and no one is really left after her murder spree. She invites Applebee over to watch the house and says good bye to him as the film mercifully ends.What a way to get away with murder!

****SPOILERS**** Both Elizabeth Taylor and Laurence Harvey as Ellen & John Wheller play a couple who are coming apart due to Ellen's insistence that she saw a murder committed across the yard separating her and Mr. Appleby's, Robert Lang, houses. With the police called on the scene nothing is found to confirm Ellen Wheller's claims yet she still goes on making a nascence of herself calling the police almost every day claiming that a murder had taken place and the police are ignoring it. It soon comes out that the beautiful but a bit dizzy in the head Mrs. Ellen Wheller had a serious mental breakdown a couple of years ago when her first husband Carl, Kevin Colson, and his secret lover,Linda Hayden, were killed in a car crash while making out, like two baboons in heat, with each other and not keeping their eyes on the road.It's in Ellen's not giving up on her thinking that her husband John as well as her good friend Sarah Cooke,Billie Whitelaw, are somehow behind the imaginary murders that she saw that it's suggested by her shrink-psychiatrist-Mr. Tony,Tony Britton, that she take a long rest in the country and chill out before she goes over the edge. Wth Ellem Wheller going crazier by the day if not hour we soon find out that she's not as crazy as we, the audience as well as movie cast, thinks that she is. It soon turns out that there's a method to her madness and in the end the joke is not on her both on both John & Sarah. It was the crafty and manipulated Ellen by keeping all the cards close to her ample breasts or vest in never letting them in on her plan that had both John and Sarah as well as the police totally underestimate her and not realize just whet her end game was all about. ***SPOILERS***Much like the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock thriller "Rear Window" the ending will shock your pants-or if your a female-panties off. It's then we get to see the real reason to why Ellen is so off the wall and unstable during the entire movie. Looking normal as well as beautiful on the surface Ellen that by making everyone-including the local police-think that she completely nuts the plan that she dreamed up in the end worked to perfection. And by the time anyone realized what it was she was literally gone with the wind together with the family jewels and bank accounts as well as personal property in a place where no one including the police could find her.

I saw this movie shortly after it came out it has been permanently etched in my memory ever since. It is truly a classic and one that I have been trying to find to add to my VHS/DVD collection. She also starred in a movie called "The Mirror Crack'd" and, for some time, I thought that was the title I was searching for. Lady Luck smiled on me while browsing a department store video/DVD section and I actually found a copy of "The Mirror Crack'd". It was with mixed emotion; satisfaction that I had purchased the the other Agatha Christie mystery starring Elizabeh Taylor,and disappointment that it was not the one I had been looking for. I have since discovered the proper name of the Title "Night Watch". Does anyone have a suggestion as to how would I go about getting a copy of this movie?
