And Soon The Darkness

Two British girls go on a bicycling vacation in France. After quarrelling, the two girls separate. The more responsible of the pair, Jane, feels guilty about leaving, and decides to return to the infamous stretch of road where she left her friend. When she gets there, she finds her friend is missing and begins a tour of the surrounding area, questioning those she encounters about her friend. However, as time passes and there is no trace of her friend, Jane imagines the worst, and fears that the next person she encounters could be her friend's killer. Atmospheric, suspenseful, and shocking, AND SOON THE DARKNESS is a gripping thriller.

    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    great seventies movie!

    First saw this on tv back in the mid eighties and been waiting for it to appear on dvd ever since as it has never reappeared on tv. Michele and Pamela are great as two british girls looking for fun on a cycling holiday in France which eventually turns into a nightmare.

    The lovely Pamela for me steals the show though. She is such a talented actress, so pretty and luckily in this movie we get to see a whole lot of her lovely legs too!

    Great movie!

    for oldies its good

    ok this movie is not something i enjoyed.. i didnt get the thrill but then again this movie was made ages ago.... n during this time i bet this movie causes panic.... so if u like old movies and respect it then u will surely enjoy this movie... if u are a present day horror n thriller fan then dont rent this movie as it will come across quite daft.
