Watched Full-Length Version: 1.75:1. Dragged a little during the cult scene. Good demon effects. I enjoyed the gentlemanly atmosphere. I'm on the side against showing the demon too early. Fav scene: being chased by smoky footsteps.

Showing the demon at the beginning was a huge mistake, as it kills any tension as to whether it - or the curse - is real. I also would have liked more focus on the cult's activities and ultimate goals. Not a bad little thriller otherwise.

Harking back to Cat People in a few different ways, but it's the frustration that I recall the most. Like that film, Night of the Demon is strongest in a few short and scattered sequences that are iconic, but drags for most of its running time. The cast are a bunch of forgettables, and it comes off like a highly competently executed B-picture, with a fraction of the charm that should entail. It is worth watching.

An American psychologist must find a way to undo a deadly curse placed on him by a Satanist. Even though the story reaches its somewhat predictable conclusion a little slowly, it's an effective and suspenseful chiller nonetheless thanks to the excellent atmosphere created by Tourneur. The monster effects are fun but ultimately feel out of place.

This was very good. I definitely have a soft spot for films with well-dressed academics battling evil; don't know why. The cast is decent, and the key elements of the M.R. James story are effectively brought to the screen. I really liked MacGinnis as Karswell; he was so calm and rational in his evil-dealing. Less effective is the appearance of the titular demon - it looks rubbish frankly. Otherwise, this is very nicely shot and composed, atmospheric, and most entertaining.

It had an incredible beginning, and an incredible ending, but everything in between... Nothing spectacular. The thing that scared me the most was the prospect that the movie might have lost all its steam completely after the first 10 minutes.

Was it real, or wasn't it? It certainly was for those who were attacked by the demon. But for those who weren't...Now that's a brilliant monster movie.

You know, this material is a whole lot more effective when it doesn't have the air of gentlemen gathering around a fireplace. But when the demon finally comes, it's straight out of Wrestlemania, so that I enjoyed.

An ok-ish horror movie that works best when there isn't anything horrific on screen (mostly because the titular demon looks goofy as hell). Nicely atmospheric. I enjoyed how casual the villain was about his unstoppable plan to kill the protagonist at a specific day, while still being gentlemanly to his future victim in the meantime.
