Fright

Last night I watched the 1972 thriller Fright though the title may lead you to beleive it is a horror it is a classsic tale of a man driven to madness and hunted by the police. When a young student named Amanda is invited to babysit a three year old child when his mother and adoptive father are going out with a friend the boy's biological father who has just escaped from a mental institution attacks the house killing Amanda's boyfriend and threatning to kill her, the child and himself if the police try to interfere.

This has opened me to the idea of madness and it's use as an important plot point in the thriller genre.
