This is a true classic of the genre. Strong characters, a well-told story, and evil in the form of a sinister devil cult , set against a background of English countryside combine to provide a positively great, classic B&W horror film. Excellent!

This is a very erie movie if you love classic horror films. The beast may be laughable in todays world but I bet the audience in the theatre were scared. I wish they would show these classic horror films back on the big screen today. A good movie to watch late at night. ~ Susan L.

The minute I saw the black and white film I thought it was going to be awful. Quite the contrary!! I was totally absorbed in this film. Then I realized why...it was because the acting was great, (there were no vapid 20 something year old girls who can't act their way out of a paper bag) the setting so authentic (no Hollywood sets here) that I felt like I could feel the mist on my face and the smoke in my throat. And a plot right out of a screenwriting workbook that kept the pace moving fast and with surprises at every turn. Don't miss it.

This is a precursor to the style used in making the film "Jaws". It's very good for its time. There are no real special effects. The actors actually have to do their job, something you don't see in too many horror pictures today. The only flaw is you get to see the Demon too early in the movie. The director didn't want to put the Demon in early, the studio insited. Have some popcorn and enjoy.
