...Night? was Woolrich?s prime mixture of the paranoid and the paranormal - a cocktail that rarely fizzes in this flat adaptation. You will make do with minor pleasures: Robinson?s walking-dead pallor as Triton (who calls himself ?a zombie in reverse?); Russell?s fragile beauty (she would drink herself to death at 36); the movie?s last words, that ?there are things on earth still hidden from us.
