Featured review
"It Seems A Lot Of Rot, But I Suppose You Know What You're Doing!"...
Strange noises and events start happening at the Prescott family mansion. Household objects are being moved out of place. Mrs. Prescott (Olga Lindo) and the servants are beside themselves, while Mr. Prescott (Alfred Drayton) takes a more skeptical view, even when plagued by hot coals crashing through windows!
The Prescott's are soon visited by a "psychical investigator", who believes that a poltergeist is at work.
The real fun begins when some dinner guests arrive. In addition to the usual shenanigans, the Prescott's daughter exhibits abnormal behavior. Is a possession afoot?
THINGS HAPPEN AT NIGHT is a rather humorous British ghost story. It -somewhat- foreshadows more serious future horror films in the same vein. It's also a lot of fun to watch!
Highly recommended for lovers of old British comedies and lighthearted tales of the supernatural...
