one of the most viscerally thrilling movies ever made. It will make your heart beat faster and your hair stand on end. Despite it's aging it remains a terrific and engaging movie from start to finish. Arkin is great in his role and the theme song is eerie and exciting the way Psycho's is.

Effective thriller, but nothing more.

What happens when you put two petty criminals, a psychotic killer and a blind woman all in a small basement apartment. Wackiness, I tell ya. Sheer, wackiness.

Really good thriller. Arkin is such an awesome badguy, and I loved his sudden jump. The build-up is slow, but once it gets going it gets really tense, so it's not a bad thing. Great directing, good acting and good dialogue. The music is good too

Saam? Saam!? Saam???

Solid thriller.

This movie was pretty darn good. A little bit dated for me, but I will admit the suspense is taught and interesting. Never again will people feel safe in their own homes with the lights out. I can only imagine how blind people feel everyday, and this may have been the point the director tries to make. The blind are certainly capable of taking care of themselves but heck it must be scary and I would never want it to happen to me.

Alan Arkin is fantastic to watch.

Tension defined.

Tense well built thriller. Some parts probably don't stand up to much scrutiny but the performances are so strong and the sense of dread so genuine that logic taking a back seat seems perfectly natural.

This is a well crafted story with a steadily increasing sense of foreboding. There are a few good jumps here and there, but mainly I have to praise Audrey Hepburn for her great performance as a blind lady being targeted by some very dangerous men.

Hadn't seen this in ages, but it still holds up remarkably well. Silly in places, but Audrey Hepburn as a scream queen? How can you possibly go wrong with that?

Don't blind people ever lock their doors? And why would someone wear two painstakingly detailed disguises to fool a blind person, but forget to change the one article of clothing that might actually make a difference? Apart from several such odd script problems, Wait Until Dark is a worthwhile thriller with some serious mounting tension near the end. Hepburn gets a hard acting job done in style, and Alan Arkin is superb (as always) as the arch-villain.

A tight one-place suspense paying attention to details and psychology. Audrey and Richard Crenna are pretty good.

One of the great "jump" scenes in movie history not involving a cat or someone closing a medicine cabinet and seeing someone else's reflection over their shoulder. It's a slow-builder, to be sure, but I personally love it when a thriller is self-confident enough to take it's time fleshing out characters and establishing a real sense of dread. This one's the real deal.

Best blind lady in the world, she is.

Good, tense movie almost ruined by its brain-shredding soundtrack.
