Intelligent, delicate, and actually frightening.
One of the finest thrillers made in England during the '50s.
It's a beguiling and enveloping tale of the power of the occult and the susceptibility of the human mind to suggestion.
This essay in the occult is handled with much of the assurance the same director brought to Cat People, and is well above average.
Night Of The Demon packs a powerful punch despite featuring no gore or, demon excepted, much in the way of special effects.
A film that survives even its most unsubtle special effects to earn its place as not only one of the great films of British vintage cinema but also a classic supernatural thriller.
Audience Reviews for Curse of the Demon
The sad fact that this classic horror movie shows the monster right away in the beginning (against the director's wishes) doesn't eliminate its undeniable qualities, such as an elegant dialogue and an intelligent plot with characters who behave like intelligent people would.
Super Reviewer
I absolutely loved this horror movie. The story is classic, but also modern. The actors are great. And the ending is way cool. If you've seen the new movie, Drag Me to Hell, you'll see many similarities with this movie.
Super Reviewer
An early classic. I loved it.
