Wait Until Dark (1967)

In this classic claustrophobic thriller by director Terence Young:

• the shocking discovery of the dead body of Lisa (Samantha Jones) in a garment bag in a closet by amiable thug Mike Talman (Richard Crenna)
• the relentless search for the rag-doll with drugs inside
• the final battle of wits showdown in complete darkness between blind Susy Hendrix (Oscar-nominated Audrey Hepburn) ("the world's champion blind lady") and crazed and villainous Roat (Alan Arkin)
• her dousing of him with gasoline after asking: "Mr. Roat, are you looking at me?"
• the exciting jump-scare moment in which the knife-wielding, wounded killer jumped out of the dark
• Susy's outwitting of him by hiding behind the refrigerator door and pulling the plug - with her slow emergence as the survivor
