*The Night Digger* (1971), also known as *The Road Builder*, is a psychological thriller about a repressed woman named Maura, who cares for her blind, domineering mother in a decaying English mansion—until their lives are disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious young drifter. As Maura begins to open up emotionally, a series of brutal murders in the area suggests the new lodger may be harboring a dark, deadly secret. Directed by Alastair Reid and written by Roald Dahl (adapted from Joy Cowley’s novel), the film stars Patricia Neal and Nicholas Clay, blending gothic tension, tragic romance, and creeping dread in a haunting character study.
