The blinds moving up andidown...the squeaking shoes...and then theiknife whistling past her ear...
Now two are left: Susy, recently blinded and still learning how to live in a sighted world, and Roat, a psychopathic killer. Roat wants a heroin-stuffed doll he thinks Susy has. All Susy wants is to survive.
Dim the lights, check the door's chain-lock, and brace yourself for a chiller as polished as the steel of Roat's blade. Audrey Hepburn earned her fifth Academy Award nomination as Susy. Alan Arkin is pure evil as Roat, master of disguise and accents. Jack Weston and Richard Crenna co-star as his henchmen. Building to a heart-pounding one-on-one confrontation, Wait Until Dark "belongs to the screen's most memorable thrillers." (David Shipman, The Story of Cinema).

A taut and compelling thriller as a blind woman fights for survival - 3.75 out of 5 (8/11/2003)
As a teenager I used to take the subway into Manhattan Saturday mornings and go to the movies. One of the most memorable of these films was without a doubt 'Wait Until Dark'. This taut thriller still stands far above other more recent entries into this genre. The reason for this persistence in excellence is this film does not depend on the typical slasher flicks special effects. These blood and gore scenes are good for a moment but soon become old. Wait Until Dark depends more on the human mind,

Long awaited DVD - 4 out of 5 (8/11/2003)
The very effective chiller is both director Terence Young and Alan Arkin's best film. Unfortunately, Arkin's later movie roles haven't been good enough to make him popular.
Audrey Hepburn as blind housewife is believable like always. She disappeared from the screen for nine years after getting an Oscar nomination for this film. Casting comic actor Jack Weston as one of the villains is a great choice. He easily steals the scenes from Richard Crenna, who's not able to shake off his straight-man
