Dead of Night (1974)
9/10
Moving and Scary Horror Tale
26 December 2021
When a young soldier dies in combat, his grieving mother wishes him back. One night, he returns and his family is overjoyed until they see that he's not the man he used to be and has an appetite for human blood to keep him alive.

Deathdream is a variation on the classic "Monkey's Paw" story, but done with heart and a well delivered anti-war message. Tom Savini's early makeup work on the lead character as he continues to rot away is startling and deeply disturbing.
