Watch J. B. Priestley's debut in Hollywood cinema, drawn from his seminal novel Benighted. James Whale created a wonderfully atmospheric horror comedy and, unwittingly, a genre that reverberates into the horrors of today.
When a group of travellers are stranded in a remote area, they seek refuge in a house of eccentrics but receive little comfort or rest. They encounter a bizarre and increasingly strange family, including the cowardly Horace Femm, his fanatically religious sister Rebecca, and the flamboyant Sir William Porterhouse. As the night unfolds, the guests must contend with the family's dark secrets and the looming threat of the pyromaniac Saul Femm.
‘Glorious. See this HORROR CLASSIC on a big screen again’ – Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Shaun of the Dead)
