Psychobabble episode leaves too many unanswered questions.
FloridaFred11 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The lead character, Paul Martin (actor Paul Richards) is clearly out of his mind. Poor guy backed over his 3-year old child in the driveway. But did his brother-in-law set him up, and put him in the Nut House? The producers fail to answer the question.

Paul Richards puts on a decent performance, and the writers try to keep the action going (a gun fired into a flower vase, the deputies breaking into the house on the upper floor, the crazy piano playing), but the story drags a bit.

Could have been better. Of course we get lectured about all the mental patients in America, and why "we" need to do something about it (exactly what?).

Six stars for "Night of Terror"

A too much predictable tale.

Warning: Spoilers
A man is released from a hospital, a psychiatric hospital, and gets back to his wife. The question the audience asks is why he was sent here. The lead would have killed his son. But this was a set up to get rid of him. His brother in law, a doctor, intended to make him crazy. So the released man tries to clear himself at all cost. He gets back with a gun and has, of course, many difficulties to communicate with the authorities who arrive; in particular the sheriff of Los Angeles County...

The usual stuff, predictable, as you can guess...

And not a thriller. A drama, yes.

Not interesting. I just talk about it because it was not commented.

Directed by George Waggner.
