The Night Walker: Thorough mess
11 October 2018
When a womans much older wealthy possessive husband is killed in an explosion she finds herself experiencing vivid dreams including him and a mysterious handsome stranger. But what do they mean?

The Night Walker looks great and has some very advanced sfx for its time, for that I congratulate the creators. However I'm left thinking some more of that budget should have gone to the writers as the plot is a baffled mess.

It all starts competently enough, then it goes into the realms where you find yourself concerned whether everything will be fully explained by the end. Well.............actually it's not, not when you think about it anyway.

The concept is there as is the delivery but the plot itself is a frustrating mess and everytime Stanwyck screamed I died a little inside.

Certainly not the worst, but I'd definetly advise skipping over it.

The Good:

Great opening sequence

SFX are ahead of their time

Robert Taylor

The Bad:

Story is an absolute mess

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Barbara Stanwyck has the worst scream in cinema history
