Night Ferry

About This Movie

Night Ferry is quite the quirky little gem from 1976. Directed by David Eady, it blends action and mystery with a touch of family-friendly adventure. Bernard Cribbins really leans into the role of Pyramid, a cunning master-of-disguise; he gives the character this almost whimsical yet sinister vibe. The film takes you through London's bustling train stations, and the pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged as young Jeff stumbles onto this mummy-smuggling plot. There’s a lot of practical effects and a tangible sense of place that adds to the atmosphere. It’s not just about the chase; there’s an underlying theme of bravery, and the dynamics between Jeff and the adults around him bring a relatable depth for younger viewers. Definitely a unique watch.
