Night the Prowler, The

An intense portrait of a woman in search of an elusive identity, clutching for control of the uncontrollable, The Night the Prowler is based on a haunting short story by Patrick White.

Felicity Bannister (Kerry Walker) is a young woman living in the shadow of her overpowering mother (Ruth Cracknell). Her oppression is her worst enemy until the day she is attacked by an intruder who breaks into her bedroom and forces Felicity into action. The tables are suddenly turned and Felicity transforms from the helpless victim into a ruthless renegade in search of trouble, driven by the anarchic thrill of malevolence.

Directed by Jim Sharman and produced by Anthony Buckley, The Night the Prowler is an uncompromising liberation of an unsettled soul.
