VHS Movie Reviews of Curse of the Demon [VHS]
Movie Review: One of the best of it's time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Really great film! Even with it's cheesy monster effects, it is somehow unnerving and disturbing, one of the true classics. The extended British version (Night of the Demon) is fun to watch if you are used to the American Curse of the Demon version. It's only a few minutes longer and the extra scenes are only trivial (basic stuff just to cut time) but it's fun to notice those little details after watching the American version for so many years. Even my daughter was creeped out by it and by today's standards that says something. Really worth it (and look for the book that tells the story of the making of this movie!)
Summary of Curse of the Demon [VHS]
After establishing his signature style with such moody classics as Cat People and I Walked with a Zombie, Jacques Tourneur returned to peak form with the first-rate supernatural thriller Curse of the Demon. It's a horror-noir set in England, adapted from the M.R. James story "Casting the Runes" and built around the ominous notion that black arts--particularly the use of ancient runic symbols--can summon a deadly beast from hell. Dana Andrews is the stubborn American skeptic, determined to debunk a genteel occultist (Niall MacGinnis) whose evil powers are ultimately incontestable. The briefly seen demon may be cheesy by latter-day standards, but its nightmarish appearance--and Tourneur's masterful use of subtle suggestion, threatening atmosphere, and eerie special effects--make Curse of the Demon one of the best horror films of the 1950s. This splendid DVD offers the longer British version Night of the Demon for film-buff comparison; it's essentially the same film with a few extended scenes. Both are highly recommended. --Jeff ShannonHorror VHS Video
