| Scientific skeptics find themselves being picked off while investigating a dark arts practitioner. One of the best courtesy of the plot, Tourneur's atmospheric direction and a delightfully restrained turn by MacGinnis. The demon is a bit hokey unfortunately, but remember, it's in the trees...it's coming! The US DVD contains both versions, the UK cut, Night of the Demon, contains a couple of extra scenes.
Dana Andrews said prunes Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell is a vague remake. |
