 .....if there is one film that scares the be-jesus out of me, then this is it.....that demon sends shivers down my spine, when it appears, and it takes no prisoners...

Now if we had that Demon to call on to sort out Parliament, we would have no trouble in empowering Article 50....

Ace director Jacques Tourneur yet again proves his masterly atmospheric touch with this tense and chilling psychological horror based on M.R.James' short story Casting The Runes.
American psychologist John Holden travels to Britain on the invitation of Professor Harrington, who is currently engaged in a public spat with occultist Dr Karswell. However Holden arrives to find that Harrington has been killed in a freak car accident during a storm, with Karswell gloating on his demise. Holden is keen to expose wealthy Karswell as a fraud who preys on vulnerable people, but Karswell proves to be a difficult case being both charming and hospitable one minute and then disarming and sinister the next. Karswell slips Holden a mystical parchment and then strange things happen that even Holden cannot easily explain away. Desperation takes hold as Holden is forced to believe the hex is real, but how can he break the spell?

 The British original is Night Of The Demon, the cut down American version is Curse Of The Demon.
