Straight On Till Morning1972
“She wished the night would never end... How could she know the morning would never come?”
Directed by Peter Collinson
The premise
Brenda, a timid, withdrawn woman, meets Peter, a man she believes is finally the love of her life. However, little does Brenda know that Peter is a vicious serial killer.
Horror Vault's take
A painfully naive young woman escapes her dull life in search of love, only to find herself entangled with a charming but deeply dangerous man in swinging London. Hammer Film Productions delivers a slow-burn character study wrapped around a chilling serial killer narrative, with Rita Tushingham's quietly heartbreaking performance at its centre. The film lingers on the tragic gap between romantic fantasy and brutal reality, building unease through intimacy rather than spectacle.
