    I directed this film and I like my interpretation of the text. It was very important to seek to understadn the themes, tone, psychology Poe wrote about, so I could properly translate them into film, and incorporate elemnts of modern cinema that would draw the modern audience into it. The most challenging aspect was to techincally display the rich balck darkness in which the young man hides within, in the original text. How do you film near absolute darkness? We found a way. Watch the fiml to find out!

Fear in the Night

It took Peggy Heller a long time to recover from the trauma of a brutal physical assault, suffered in her youth. When she married Robert, he provided her with the love and reassurance she craved for and the two settled down in a pretty house in the grounds of the public school where Robert was a master. But the headmaster of the school is not what he seems and Peggy is convinced he means to harm her - is her fear a figment of her tortured imagination or are there forces at work that intend to manipulate her anxieties with fatal consequences?
