7/10
Based on a true story, though a couple other similar films are a bit better.

"The Night Holds Terror" is a lower budgeted film about a man who was taken hostage and forced to sign over his money to the kidnappers. Additionally, when they discovered his father was rich, they decide to bleed the old man as well. The crooks also terrorize the man's wife and kids and it is a creepy film...one that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The 1950s saw several films much like this one, including "Suddenly", "The Desperate Hours" and "Cry Terror!"...all of which were better than "The Night Holds Terror". However, "The Night Holds Terror" is still a very good film and it's worth watching.... I just think these others are just a bit better...more polished and more compelling.
