Zwei Stunden vor Mitternacht (1982)
Dr. Dan Potter (Dwight Schultz) tritt eine neue Stelle in "The Haven" an, einer psychiatrischen Anstalt, die u.a. auch einige gewalttätige Schwerverbrecher beherrbergt. Von dem Leiter der Einrichtung Dr. Bain (Donald Pleasence) wird er als Nachfolger von Dr.Merton eingeführt, was ihm aber einige Insassen nicht abnehmen, vielmehr glauben sie, daß Potter Merton ermordet hat. Das kommt zum Tragen, als bei einem großen Stromausfall vier der gefährlichen Insassen freikommen, darunter der psychopathische Exsoldat Hawkes (Jack Palance) und der wahnsinniger Prediger Preacher (Martin Landau). Gemeinsam suchen sie die nähere Umgebung heim, bis sie das Haus Potters samt Familie gefunden haben. Prompt entwickelt sich ein Belagerungszustand mit mörderischen Ausmaßen.
