Dead of Night

by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden, Robert Hamer

Architect Walter Craig arrives at a country house to be restored where he meets some guests invited for a party. He immediately experience a déjà vu, as if he was living in one of his recurrent dreams. He knows the dream has a scaring ending, but he doesn't remember it. When he reveals to the guests that he has already seen them all in a dream, they start entertaining each other with various tales of uncanny or supernatural events that they experienced or were told about. Dead of Night is a milestone of the British fantasy film.
