About

Synopsis

And Soon the Darkness (1970) is a British thriller from Robert Fuest, available to watch online on iFILM. Two young Englishwomen, Jane and Cathy, are cycling through the empty backroads of rural France on their holiday.

A petty quarrel splits them up, and they agree to meet again down the road. When Jane (Pamela Franklin) reaches the spot, all she finds is an abandoned bicycle — Cathy is simply gone. No witnesses, a language she barely speaks, and a stranger who might be helping or stalking her. Everyone is a suspect.

Fuest, who'd soon make The Abominable Dr. Phibes, builds dread almost without music and almost entirely in daylight: the horror unfolds on a sunny, open road. Ninety-nine minutes of mounting paranoia in the early-Hitchcock vein. One for fans of quiet, unsettling thrillers where the emptiness scares you more than any chase. Stream And Soon the Darkness (1970) online on iFILM.
