Night Of The Demon (1957)

 

Night of the Demon I last (first) saw was was probably when I was 11 or 12 years old when BBC2 would screen a fabulous horror double bill every Saturday night (oh the days of creative programing) and all these years later has aged remarkably well, retaining its eerie tension and atmospheric dread. The movie culminates culminating in a terrifying finale where the demon—seen briefly at the start—returns in full monstrous glory. The creature’s design, though practical, remains striking and for a film of it's age looks fantastic. A chilling horror classic that rewards repeat viewings.

4.5/5
