Night of the Dark Full Moon

(1972)Directed by Theodore Gershuny85 min · RThriller, Horror, Mystery
“The mansion… the madness… the maniac… no escape.”

Jeffrey Butler (James Patterson) is a lawyer who has come to a small New England town on Christmas Eve to sort out the family estate he has just inherited. The house was once an insane asylum, and when he starts asking about it, John Carter (Patrick O'Neal) and the rest of the locals turn quiet and wary. Theodore Gershuny shoots the town in grainy winter light, with Butler standing at the old house's door, looking up at its dark windows.
