Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins
Classic 1957 British thriller directed by Jacques Tourneur which for some reason is also titled Night of the Demon. I thought this was going to be a sequel but, no...same film exactly. I've seen this many times, including upon release and while the chills no longer work I still appreciate the skill and care with which this film was crafted.
The Brits had a ten year period when they made some very fine low-budget thrillers like The Day the Earth Caught Fire, Village of the Damned, The Midwich Cuckoos, et al...which culminated with Quatermass and the Pit. They then lost interest but left us these nicely done, still scary to children, lean and effective gems.
