Dead of Night

Dead of Night

"The unexpected, the tragic, the comic, the romantic, the dramatic....."

Architect Walter Craig, seeking the possibility of some work at a country farmhouse, soon finds himself once again stuck in his recurring nightmare. Dreading the end of the dream that he knows is coming, he must first listen to all the assembled guests' own bizarre tales.
