Walking After Midnight (1988 film)

Walking After Midnight is a 1988 British television film directed by Peter Hoar. It was written by Jim Hill and broadcast as part of the "Screen One" anthology series on BBC One.

The film stars Josie Lawrence as Sarah, a woman who begins to experience strange and unsettling events after inheriting a house in the countryside. These events seem connected to the house's history and a past tragedy. As Sarah investigates, she uncovers secrets and confronts potentially supernatural forces. The plot revolves around themes of isolation, the lingering effects of trauma, and the blurring lines between reality and illusion.

The film is a psychological thriller, building suspense through atmosphere and suggestion rather than explicit horror. Reviews at the time of its release were mixed, with some praising Lawrence's performance and the film's unsettling mood, while others criticized its slow pace and ambiguous ending. It is considered a relatively obscure entry in the "Screen One" series.
