Yeah, it's quite an unconventional Noir in many respects - a little surreal and nightmarish in places. It's one of the better ones I've seen from the era, and I've seen a fair few.
The director adapted the film from a novella by Cornell Woolrich titled 'Nightmare', which funnily enough he adapted for film again (this time actually calling it Nightmare) nine years later:
Not sure if you've seen Nightmare, but it plays off the same plot idea as Fear in the Night.
