Stunden der Angst

1964

A claustrophobic hostage drama that tightens the screws slowly, keeping you anxious for a trapped family in their own home.

Ludwig Cremer
Genres
Crime
Overview
Glenn Gridffin, his brother Hank and Samuel Robish have escaped from prison. They choose Dan Hilliard's house, of all places, as a safe house. The reason: nobody would think of looking for the three gangsters in such a respectable house where middle-class people live. However, the entire family - father Dan, wife Ellinor, daughter Cindy and son Ralphie - are terrified. They are trapped in their own home. Meanwhile, the gangsters give the order for everything to go back to normal. Dan goes to the office, daughter Cindy goes to the rendezvous. Of course, they are not allowed to say anything, otherwise another family member will no longer be alive. The atmosphere in the Hilliard house is slowly but surely coming to a head...
