Strangers in the Night
Stalked by a Crazed Night KIller !
A noir-inflected psychological thriller about a war-damaged veteran whose romantic obsession with a stranger descends into delusion and violence.
In this Gothic tale, a returning WW2 vet goes looking for a small-town girl whom he knows only from letters. It’s the pretext for an off-beat treatment of sexual frustration morphing into a dangerous delusion, and eventually murder.
