Dead of Night

England

Took another look at this fine horror film from 1945.

A group of strangers gather in a country house and, after a clever set up, recount to the others various psychic events they have experienced in the past. Several stories have a genuine chill about them.

This was a portmanteau film: four different directors did the stories. The cast and settings were well chosen...only one of the stories clunked.

This has been fun every time I watch it. Not many can say that.
