And Soon the Darkness (1970)
Directed by Robert Fuest (The Abominable Dr. Phibes, The Devil's Rain), And Soon the Darkness is a thriller about two English girls who, when biking through France, split up after an argument over the pace of the trip. When the girl who stayed behind didn't catch up at the next town, the other begins to search for her. This stretch of road in France is filled with strange characters, and, of course, nothing is what it seems.
Sometimes the characters can be a bit irritating in what they do or don't do, but the movie is interesting as a mystery and sometimes pretty suspenseful. The acting is good enough to make you forget about it, and the cinematography is very nice and supports the story very well.
Tagline: None found.
Highlights: All the crazy French characters. The way the language barrier was used to great effect. Some suspenseful moments.
