So after seeing it mentioned in this thread many times, I checked out
Wait Until Dark,
and it was indeed really good, especially those last fifteen minutes. I'm still recovering, holy crap.
P-C, please tell me you watched it with the lights out!

I leaped about five feet out of my chair at the appropriate point, and everyone I've introduced the film to has had the same reaction.
