Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

RavenGlamDVDCollector The Susan George fan club president is here again (just kidding!) and my review of FRIGHT focuses more on whether or not this is a picture worthy of this lovely young starlet who unfortunately did not choose her parts well, and ended up in less conventional movies. And got dubbed (a) a sexpot (b) "poor Susan, always getting raped".FRIGHT, by today's standards, and by the kind of slasher flicks to follow in the wake of HALLOWEEN, is hardly a frightening movie. So if that's what you're looking for, you'd be well advised to stay clear. I wanted a good movie with suspense showing off Susan George to full advantage, and that is what I got, she is absolutely darling in this 1971 movie. At her best. Though I'd always have a special fondness for LOLA, better known as TWINKY. And DIRTY MARY CRAZY LARRY shall forever remain THE Susan George movie. But lookswise Susan's at the top of her game here. Did I say darling?The It girl of the late Sixties and early Seventies, Susan George was the best the silver screen had to offer at that time. Even today she'd hold her own looking the way she does in FRIGHT compared against the best of contemporary Hollywood. So just imagine her effect on the hearts and minds of men and women alike back in 1971! A blonde bombshell, and a very, very likable one too. Always cheeky in a very cute way, especially in FRIGHT, DIE SCREAMING MARIANNE and LOLA, Susan represents this reviewer's ideal dream girl, and it is saddening that alas! fate ruined her career with health obstacles. But for a time back there, she was the ultimate screen goddess, and her youthful exuberance will forever shine in my heart and mind forever. If you'd observe closely, she wasn't really Playboy pretty, more girl next door with just a fantastic figure and a really great hairstyle. Some people have a lot owed to choosing a great hairstyle, Farrah Fawcett- Majors, Jennifer Aniston... Include Susan George here. I did say darling, did I not?As for the picture, it really started off on the right track, but gets derailed and loses steam with an unconvincing villain and a script that falls far short as the story progresses. And that scene where she is trying to escape all busty-looking is filmed wrong. Unconvincing. Contrived. Film sexiness as sexiness, don't do it this way, it ruins all credibility and ruined my enjoyment of the movie as I from then on saw through all its mistakes.Honor Blackman was quite disappointing as well. Really, I can say a lot of good things about this movie: Susan's eyes, Susan's hair, Susan's legs. Without Susan, I'd not have bothered. Put it this way: Anything remotely likable about this movie besides Susan George? No. ZILCH.But, wow, nice chick. Unforgettable.

markcope1981 in what appears to be the first of its kind it made me realize that the classic halloween 1978 is a blatant rip off well there are a few differences but both have similar plots susan george is great and everyone else is OK we have a decent heroine we have a scary killer we have little gore this film is great just what i need bottom line great with the exception of the awful extremely abrupt ending i really like the film john carpenter has to have seen it amanda marring is babysitting tara a young boy taras crazed father brian has come home and terror begins scary film good movie i like it a lot pretty good 9 out of 10

brettster "Fright" starts off extremely well. Susan George is a very pretty girl who comes over to babysit while the lady and gentleman of the house spend an evening out. The setup of this film is done very skillfully, and I was rapt with interest as the groundwork was laid for the terror to come. As Susan spends the first quarter-hour alone in the house, there is a growing sense of foreboding...and then, much to my disappointment, the film proceeds to slowly jump the shark. The source of the film's evil menace—which should deliver the paralyzing fright that the film's title promises—is far more annoying than horrific, and modern-day viewers are apt to be bewildered by the police response (if you can call it that), which involve standing around outside the house talking somewhat loudly. What a terrible pity this movie couldn't follow through on what starts out so well. Although Susan George is quite easy on the eyes.

Matthew Hopkiins Being a fan of UK 70's horror I was pleased to be able to obtain a copy of the Anchor Bay DVD of this film for next to nothing. Again it's another of those films that isn't yet available in the UK, but has been out in the USA for a couple of years,strange!! I had seen mixed reviews of this, and apart from a basic understanding that it had a similar plot to 'Halloween' and starred Susan George,I didn't know what to expect really.Some people reckoned the film dragged and others said the cinematography was dated.Well I have to say having viewed the film I disagree with both of those points. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and was engrossed in it as soon as it started.Apart from George Cole(who just does his usual thing) all the performances are excellent, and an air of menace is soon built up.Thoroughly recommended for devotees of UK horror.The quality of the print on the Anchor Bay DVD must be praised as well, superb.
