Always thought Dead of Night should be a lot better known than it is. It's probably my fave early horror film. Well, except for maybe The Cabinet of Dr Caligari.

Dead of Night is excellent, atmospheric and chilling, and in a less great year than 1945 would
certainly have made my top ten.
Favourite segment: Michael Redgrave as the ventriloquist, such a superb performance.
I have to confess I find that the golfing story, included to add some ‘comic relief’, is a little weak and slows things down a little. But this is a memorable film indeed.

I also didn't like the golf one. But the rest of it is so good. The ventriloquist story was my second fave. The Haunted Mirror was my fave. That was scarier than 99% of horror films released today.
Wish they'd make a supernatural portmanteau film like this today.
