NIGHT VISIT - the short film

About Me

To be attacked by a knife-wielding masked stranger in the dead of night could be a womanâ€™s worst nightmareâ€¦ or her darkest fantasy. But which is it? Both perception and reality are challenged in this taut contemporary thriller.
Lynn Lowry, from David Cronenbergâ€™s SHIVERS, George Romeroâ€™s THE CRAZIES, and Paul Schraderâ€™s CAT PEOPLE, delivers a chilling portrayal of a woman in fear for more than her life.
Director/writer Kenneth J. Hall, creator of the PUPPET MASTER series and the critically acclaimed film THE HALFWAY HOUSE, presents this short essay in terror in the tradition of Hitchcock and Argento.
