Wait Until Dark (1967)★ 7.4/10

While the premise—a blind woman outsmarting dangerous intruders—has tremendous potential, the execution doesn’t fully deliver. The narrative feels dragged out, and at times logic gives way to convenience in service of the plot twists. The film remains engaging but never quite reaches the level of gripping unpredictability it strives for.

The buildup takes time, yet the pacing is remarkably tight. Set entirely within a confined apartment, the film crafts tension through spatial limitations, escalating into a nerve-wracking finale. Ignoring a few narrative implausibilities, its suspense-driven final act delivers solid thrills.

A quinta e última indicação de Hepburn ao Oscar foi pelo papel de Susy Hendrix, mulher que ficou cega após um acidente. No momento em que tenta se acostumar à nova realidade, ela é perseguida por criminosos que buscam uma boneca cheia de heroína que estaria em seu apartamento.
