Night After Night After Night, also known as Come Nightfall, He Kills Night after Night after Night, and The Night Slasher, is a 1969 British thriller film directed by Lindsay Shonteff (as Lewis J. Force) and starring Jack May, Justine Lord and Gilbert Wynne.[1]
Four women have been murdered and Detective Inspector Bill Rowan is investigating. He believes that young thug and convicted rapist Peter Laver is responsible. When Rowan's own wife becomes the fifth victim, and yet two more women are murdered, Rowan arrests Laver on a spurious charge, and he is convicted for the latest murder, for which he has no alibi. Judge Charles Lomax presides over the murder case, and suffers a breakdown midway through the case. Discovering that the judge has a secret room full of pornography and S&M equipment, Rowan realises that in fact Lomax is the murderer.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Lurid, pedestrian and totally unconvincing thriller whose contrived script throws up so conspicuous a red herring that the identity of the real villain is never in any doubt. The accent throughout is on sexual deviation and sleazy thrills; which is just as well, since if the plot weren't so ludicrous, it might raise some mildly serious questions about how such an obviously psychopathic judge (black wigs and leather gear are mere incidental diversions) came to be appointed in the first place."[2]
