Wait Until Dark (1967)

This film shows up on people's top 100 thrillers list, so I decided to watch it with my wife and 12 year old daughter. It scared my daughter so much that she was crying at the end and had to sleep in our bed with my wife, and I slept in her bed. I kept trying to turn it off but she wanted to see how it ended. It really doesn't get scary until the last 30 min.

Audrey Hepburn deserved her oscar nomination for this role. I liked watching a younger version of Alan Arkin, I am so used to seeing him as an older actor. Same goes for Richard Crenna- I have seen him in many movies but he is older.

This is a fun thriller and if it came out today it would be rated PG. As is, it doesn't have a rating because it came out in the 60's. I give it 4 stars.
