A West End and Broadway hit, this masterfully constructed thriller moves from one moment of suspense to another as it builds toward an electrifying, breath-stopping final scene.
A sinister con man named Roat and two ex-convicts, Mike and Croker, are about to meet their match. They have traced the location of a mysterious doll to the basement flat of Sam Henderson and his blind wife, Susy. But when the doll can’t be found, the danger escalates and a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues between Susy and the crooks. Susy knows the only way to beat them is to play by her rules, so when darkness falls she turns off all the lights, leaving her to fight for her life with a killer in the dark until the game ends
“A classic that still delivers a good scare… delivers a spellbinding final scene that fulfills the promise of the play’s, and the subsequent movie’s, reputation as a classic.” – The New York Times
