Where to Watch Wait Until Dark
- Desmond DaleFebruary 17, 2025As entertaining as the long con is that unfolds, the horror elements seem quite laughable and the central plot action is built upon shaky ground. I couldn't figure out why this crazy blind lady was fighting so hard to keep the doll, all of that heroin just going to waste.
