Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - A Gripping Psychological Thriller "Wait Until Dark" is a suspense film in the finest traditions of Alfred Hitchcock. The direction by Terence Young ("Dr. No" and "From Russia With Love") masterfully blends a stellar cast with mood, music, and atmosphere to create a compelling psychological thriller. The story involves a blind woman (Audrey Hepburn), who has unknowingly come into the possession of a child's doll filled with heroin. Three con men (Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna, and Jack Weston) create an elaborate scheme to locate the doll in her apartment without arousing her suspicions. Like Hitchcock, director Young reveals the identity and intent of the con men right from the beginning of the movie. He lets the audience in on their secret. It is left to the blind and isolated victim to decipher their intent and her own personal danger over the course of the film. Hepburn is engaging in the role of a woman who is at once vulnerable yet possesses unfolding inner strength. She knows she is alone and ultimately responsibility for her own fate. The suspense grows as her suspicions are slowly aroused until all is revealed to her in one terrifying moment of confrontation with the cunning and evil Arkin. The stark confines of the apartment and the dramatic musical score by Henry Mancini accentuate the dark and foreboding atmosphere. This is a film you will not soon forget... Rating: - Audrey Never Lost Her Stuff I learned about this movie when my mom was telling me about the scary movies of her day, and she went on about how it was one of the scariest movies she ever saw, and when she and her kid sister left the theatre, her sister was crying great crocodile tears, claiming she'd never let herself see another movie again. While my aunt will never live that down, my mom is still haunted by this movie, and I can tell why. I saw it on AMC in August at midnight, and that was a mistake. This movie scared me beyond my expectations. Audrey Hepburn was fantastic as Susie Hendrix, the recently blinded woman persued by Alan Arkin, a narcotics dealer who will stop at nothing to get to a stash that is in Susie's apartment. Many claim this movie isn't scary, but coming from a generation that grew up on Scream, Halloween, Nightmare on Elmstreet and other cheap movie's that use gore and 'don't-turn-that-bend' suprises for scares, it doesn't mean much. 'Wait Until Dark' is so much more than the typical slasher flick, it is a psychological thriller that takes the viewer on a roller coaster ride to hell and doesn't stop turning and tossing until the last frame of film fades to black. On second viewing, if you feel the sparkle is fading, just position yourself in Susie's shoes, and you're in for a whole new experience. Praise 'Wait Until Dark' - and trust me, if you wait until dark to watch this, you'll be rewarded greatly with a heart-stopping finale! Rating: - A very intense thriller A recently blinded woman is terrorized by a sociopathic drug dealer who is seeking packets of heroin mistakenly left in her apartment. The stunning Audrey Hepburn (in an Oscar-nominated role) shines as Suzy Hendrix, and Alan Arkin matches wits with her as the dealer (he also plays two other roles) in a game of cat-and-mouse that builds to a hair-raisingly tense and exciting climax. Hepburn is in top form in one of her better performances, a believable mix of vulnerability, terror, and gutsy, raw courage. Sweat-inducing and nerve-wracking at times, poignant and touching at others, "Wait Until Dark" still packs a wallop and is one of the best suspense films ever made. Recommended to anyone who likes a good thriller, and fans of "Panic Room" and "Blink" may also like this taut and well-made movie.
