Summary:
"Released just days after the end of the Second World War and a dozen years ahead of the first full-blooded Hammer horror, the Ealing Studios horror anthology film Dead of Night (1945) featured contributions from some of the finest directors, writers and technicians ever to work in British film. Since its release it has become widely regarded as a keystone in the architecture of horror cinema, both nationally and internationally. Yet for a film that packs such a reputation this is the first time a single book has been dedicated to its analysis."
