A sunny day, a quiet road, rural France: the genre defying scene is set for unsettling, atmospheric terror in cult director Robert Fuest's Hitchcockian thriller And Soon the Darkness. Young English nurses Jane (Pamela Franklin) and Cathy (Michele Dotrice) are on a cycling holiday, unaware that another tourist girl was brutally slain in the same region two years earlier. They happen upon a mysterious man, Paul (Sandor Eles), who seems interested in them. Cathy is intrigued by the man, but suspicious Jane wants to continue on the journey. The two split apart after arguing the point, but, when Jane returns to the village where they're staying, her friend is nowhere to be found. Frantic, she searches for Cathy. Will she find her in time?
