Watch Still of the Night For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Forget Hitchcock, and enjoy this film on its own merits. Never mind that it has elements of other films since...Color of Night, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Fatal Attraction, et al. Even a little of Play Misty for Me. You're going to be manipulated, you're going to know that you are being manipulated, and you go along for the ride anyway, thinking she did it, but then maybe that's what I'm supposed to think so maybe she didn't do it...but then they'll think I'm going to think that so maybe she did do it after all..and in the end you decide just to wait and see.Roy Scheider is brilliant in just about everything he does, and Meryl...well, she literally takes your breath away when she walks through the door for the first time. I've never seen her looking more beautiful. And she plays it with the same qualities of Tippi Hedren in both The Birds and Marnie, the same qualities she had in Kramer vs Kramer...nervous, flawed, a bit bewildered, an innocence that is belied by past guilt. Roy's character finds himself atttracted to her even though he's afraid of what he might discover as he digs deeper.Joe Grifasi isn't as clueless as other reviewers have indicated, but you're pretty certain you know what happens to him, if you've seen Fatal Attraction.So...think about all of the Hitchcock elements, all of the afore-mentioned movies after you've watched it, or better yet, watch it again and look for them.It's a nice little psychological thriller, much like others, but still very enjoyable.

Despite its Hitchcock influence (which is a benefit), Robert Benton provides a good job in directing actors.As an inevitable consequence of having used the techniques of the British Master, the film has quite disturbing scenes which keeps the viewer in suspense, due to the visual and dramatic tension. Roy Scheider and specially a young Meryl Streep, shine in their performances. There's a mystery surrounding Meryl Streep's role in this movie. She is attractive, insecure, it seems that she is looking for company, but at the same time she's unreachable.There is a significant dramatic and psychological aspects that make this thriller deserves more attention.7/10

Yea, it has Roy Scheider in it who plays a psychiatrist who gets involved with Meryll Streep somehow who may or may not be a psychotic killer whose stalking him. Or maybe she is being stalked by a psychotic killer and he's trying to help her or something. Can't remember. Saw it along time ago and I remember I loved it. Thought the performances were great. It had a psycho in it and it was well directed and well written. At the end Roy Sheider blows up a shark with a gun and a tank of compressed air. No wait, that was the French Connection. Anyways if I see it again I'll probably update this review but probably not because I'm not getting paid to write this and so really don't care whether I've convinced you to see this movie or not. All I can tell you is that I remember loving it about fifteen years ago. If the matrix has turned it into a terrible movie by now I recommend you don't see it. Remember the magic word, it rhymes with "Microsoft". It is "Obey".

This is a homage to Alfred Hitchcock, but they forgot the main ingredient of the master's, and that's suspense. As a reviewer pointed out, almost every single scene is filmed in the dark, and at night. I can't really recall one daylight scene. I think they thought it would make it more suspenseful, but it backfired. It also has many nods to Hitchcock classics. I'll give them credit with the tribute to Vertigo. Roy Scheider stalking Meryl Streep was quite well done, and had an eerie feel. I guess my main problem with this movie was, despite that it was watchable, it's rather gloomy, and unexciting. I was watching this late at night, and there is an auction scene that seems to go on forever. I almost fell asleep. It tries to coast along with the strength of its two major stars, but that merely makes it watchable, in lieu of being successful. It's pretty cold and unlikable as well. It's quite difficult to garner empathy from either of the two leads. Roy Scheider tries to pull a James Stewart, but can't quite pull it off. He certainly has presence, and can make anything watchable, but he seems unsure on how to tackle the roll. I felt he was a bit too subdued at times. He's one of my favorite actors, but this is one of his more forgettable performances. I would have like to see his obsession with Streep go a little bit further, and add a little more angst. Meryl Streep is rather stilted in her performance. She has moments where she is outstanding, and others where her performance feels stilted. It was a bit inconsistent. One thing I'll mention is how gorgeous she was, when she was younger. You won't see beauty like that very often. Her chemistry with Scheider was disappointing. Her mysterious character wasn't explored enough for my liking. Jessica Tandy is solid as Roy's mother, but she is barely in this movie, and doesn't have nearly enough screen time. The conclusion was alright, but didn't have enough Oomph.Final Thoughts: Scheider & Streep are always watchable, but they are not at their best here. As a homage to Hitchock, this movie fails. As a time passer, you could do a lot worse than this. It's worth a watch, but don't expect too much. 5.5/10
