Nothing but the Night (1973)

 Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing appeared in a whopping 24 movie's together, but typically as opponents, seldom were their characters on the same side. An exception to this is the 1973 mystery/horror film 'Nothing but the Night', in which they play respectively a police inspector and a forensic pathologist. The two are working together to solve the mystery of a slew of deaths among the board members of a charitable trust. Not to give too much away but this movie has a Shaymalan type twist ending that almost, but dosen't quite, land. It's also far too slow getting there, but I was intrigued enough to sit through it, the 84 minute run time feels longer then it really is. **
