Cry Panic

A late-night accident spirals into a gripping mystery when David Gurney realizes the small-town locals, including the sheriff, are hiding dark secrets about the victim. As paranoia mounts, Gurney's search for the truth uncovers a web of lies and danger that threatens his life in this tense 1974 thriller featuring standout performances by John Forsythe, Earl Holliman, and Ralph Meeker.

My take

A paranoid descent into small-town corruption that grips you from the first accident. This is the kind of thriller that keeps you watching late into the night—tense, claustrophobic, and impossible to look away from.
