Product Description

When psychologist John (Dana Andrews) Holden's full original length. Plus, catch the rare truncated American release back to back. A British production, NIGHT OF THE DEMON was released in the UK in a 95 minute running time. For the American market, the film was cut to 82 minutes, re-titled CURSE OF THE DEMON, and released in 1958. This DVD presents, for the first time in the US, the fully restored 95-minute version as seen by British audiences in 1957, as well as the rare, truncated American release.

Amazon.com

After establishing his signature style with such moody classics as Cat People and I Walked with a Zombie, Jacques Tourneur returned to peak form with the first-rate supernatural thriller Curse of the Demon. It's a horror-noir set in England, adapted from the M.R. James story "Casting the Runes" and built around the ominous notion that black arts--particularly the use of ancient runic symbols--can summon a deadly beast from hell. Dana Andrews is the stubborn American skeptic, determined to debunk a genteel occultist (Niall MacGinnis) whose evil powers are ultimately incontestable. The briefly seen demon may be cheesy by latter-day standards, but its nightmarish appearance--and Tourneur's masterful use of subtle suggestion, threatening atmosphere, and eerie special effects--make Curse of the Demon one of the best horror films of the 1950s. This splendid DVD offers the longer British version Night of the Demon for film-buff comparison; it's essentially the same film with a few extended scenes. Both are highly recommended. --Jeff Shannon

Wonderfully Satisfying Horror Classic

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2009

Verified Purchase

What you want to watch on this DVD is Night of the Demon, the uncut British version of the film. And it is a terrific film. For atmosphere, suspense, and true horror it has seldom been excelled. All performances are topnotch with Dana Andrews being very convincing and sympathetic as the American skeptic who comes to London to expose a Satanic cult which he believes is a fraud. But the finest performance in the film is undoubtedly that of famous British character actor Niall MaGinnis who gives great depth and dimension to the role of the professorial Satanist villain. What MacGinnis achieves with his beautiful and cultured voice, alone, is quite astonishing, and really he and his remarkable mother set the tone for the whole film. And that tone is amazingly reminiscent of the best of early 20th century horror films which so well employed the talents of other greats, like Claude Reins and Colin Clive. ----- Evil here is connected with sophistication, with musty leather bound books, and the venerable reading room of the British Museum, with runes written on parchment, and ancient secrets that can and have been unearthed by those greedy and unwise enough to seek them. The imposing and beautiful house of the villian, the elegant hotel where the principles meet, the lonely roads on which they drive in and around nighttime London --- all of these are beautifully explored in shining black and white film to sustain a mood of delicious dread. A haunting melody, the sound of footsteps following Andrews, the highly charged cries of a tormented ghost speaking through a medium -- all this conspires to make this one of the scariest old films you will ever see. But the crowning glory of the film is the demon itself. It's well known, of course, that the film as originally conceived did not include shots of the actual demon, and that even the cast was surprised to discover the fully realized monster in the theatrical release. But, oh, what a demon this is. It is huge, hideous, and utterly terrifying with monstrous fangs and claws, relentlessly pursuing its victims who have not the slightest chance of escape. I just loved it. So you get the best of both worlds, really, a film of subtle suggestion, suspense and fear on the one hand which might have worked wonderfully without a real demon; and then this perfectly capitol monster on the other hand, who descends on his victims in the midst of terrifying sound effects and boiling smoke. --- Of course the film has a strong moral point of view. The villains are indeed evil; and the good people who resist them are truly good. Dance with the Devil and you will be damned. --- The whole thing, in the final analysis is tremendously entertaining and a far cry from some of the chaotic, vulgar and utterly nihilistic "horror" films of today. I've seen this film probably half a dozen times, and will no doubt watch it many more times -- and as often as I can with some one who has not seen it before ---- but I will never, never watch it when I'm alone. Hope for a Blu Ray and enjoy.

Night of the Demon

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2010

Verified Purchase

Jacques Tourneur, director of both CAT PEOPLE and I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, delivers this top-rate psychological thriller from 1957 that is just as shocking and powerful today as it was at the time of its release. NIGHT OF THE DEMON follows Dr. Holden as he arrives in London for a seminar in which he hopes to disprove the existence of witchcraft in modern society. It is here that he quickly incurs the wrath of a local warlock, who places a demonic curse over his head just as he had done to Dr. Holden's friend just a week earlier. Holden refuses to give in to the same superstition and fear that seized his friend's heart in an icy death grip, but as the date of his supposed death draws nearer, he grows increasingly alarmed by the odd occurrences that are unfolding all around him.

It has long been debated whether or not Tourneur originally intended to reveal demon to the audience rather than subtly alluding to its presence, which may have been a decision that was influenced by the film's producers under the same circumstances that occurred in CAT PEOPLE. In spite of this possibility, the towering beast that steps out of the smoke in NIGHT OF THE DEMON has become one of the most frightening and memorable creations in classic Horror. Its earth-shattering appearances at the beginning and end of the film are fearsome spectacles of special effects and costuming.

While NIGHT OF THE DEMON does function as a chilling creature-feature, Tourneur succeeds on a much larger scale in creating a brilliantly-crafted mystery that builds itself around the themes of auto-suggestion and mass hysteria. By placing the medieval ingredients of black magic and demonology into a modern, real-world setting, he is able to contrast superstition and science, leaving it up to the viewer to decide whether the unfortunate victims have given in to hypnotic suggestion and fear, or whether the gates of hell have literally opened to unleash one of their fiery spawn. Had the physical embodiment of the beast been removed entirely from the picture, it may have proven to be even more effective in this regard.

The exceptionally spooky atmosphere and spine-tingling mood that can be found all throughout CAT PEOPLE and I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE are ever-present in NIGHT OF THE DEMON. Tourneur's dark forests are drowned in ethereal lighting and a creeping mist that recall the Gothic settings of the Universal classics. An increasing sense of dread permeates from each of the characters as simple coincidence begins to give way to fate. Dana Andrews and Niall MacGinnis are superb opposite one another, one being the skeptic and the other being the true believer. Their final confrontation aboard the train offers a clever exchange between the characters that is rife with humor and suspense.

Jacques Tourneur proves, once again, that he is a master in his field, and NIGHT OF THE DEMON is one of the greatest accomplishments in the genre.

Hatte den Film nur auf VHS, war deswegen sehr erfreut über diese DVD, auf der gleich zwei Versionen desselben Uralt-Knallers zu sehen sind. Anständiger Preis, lange Lieferzeit (kommt aus den USA). Aber was tut man nicht alles, um sich wieder einmal ordentlich und ohne CGI zu gruseln (Niall McGinnis als Schwarzmagier ist fast noch unheimlicher als sein Dämon).

Es una película basada en una historia de M.R. James. Los efectos especiales son malos, pero la historia es muy buena y me gusta mucho la película . La busqué en MX durante mucho tiempo y solo la encontré aquí, aunque hay que saber que el Dvd es región 1 y solo se reproducirá en los aparatos multiregion.

"Bluedusk"

DVD US compatible zone 2

Reviewed in France on December 2, 2013

Sorti en France sous le titre "Rendez-vous avec la peur", "Night of the Demon" de Jacques Tourneur est un des films les plus sérieusement angoissants de l'histoire du cinéma. Je ne commenterai pas le film davantage, je ne veux parler que du DVD.
Le récent Blu-ray publié par Wild Side Rendez-vous avec la peur - Coffret collector: DVD + Blu-ray + Livre coûtant encore un peu cher, je ne peux que recommander cette édition DVD en attendant:

Le disque unique contient les deux montages du film: la version originale anglaise sortie sous le titre "Night of the Demon", et la version US amputée de 15mn pour la diffusion télé "Curse of the Demon". On regardera donc "Night".
Entièrement remasterisé, le film offre un des plus beaux noir et blanc en définition DVD. Il reste quelques poussières sur des zones sombres, mais sans gravité. Upscalée sur un écran actuel en 1080p, l'image en 1.66:1 d'origine est très agréable, par exemple dans la scène de jour, dans le parc de la propriété de Karswell. Les scènes nocturnes ne sont jamais bouchées et la lumière ne "brûle" jamais l'image.

Le son est également bien équilibré entre les dialogues, la musique et les sons divers. VO uniquement.
Le DVD comporte des sous-titres anglais fidèle, français et japonais, ainsi qu'un sous-titrage "close caption" pour malentendants (système équivalent au télétexte en Europe) décodable sur un ordinateur avec n'importe quel lecteur multimédia: VLC, MPC-HD avec ffdshow, ou logiciel commercial de lecture de DVD.
La bonne nouvelle c'est que le disque est compatible zones 1,2,3 et 4, et donc qu'il peut être lu sur n'importe quelle platine de salon ou lecteur de PC en Europe sans nécessiter de bidouillage plus ou moins légal.

En bonus le disque n'offre que deux bandes-annonces pour des films des années 80. C'est le seul point faible, mais c'est acceptable en regard de l'intérêt du film et de la qualité générale de cette édition.

J'ai acheté ce film auprès du vendeur "musique-pour-vous" pour une somme totale de €8,50 et il est arrivé sans encombres en une dizaine de jours. Donc si vous aimez le cinéma fantastique de qualité, Jacques Tourneur sans Val Lewton (le film est produit par Columbia, pas RKO comme "La Féline" ou "Vaudou"), n'hésitez pas. Ou bien sûr si vous préférez la HD et que le prix actuel ne vous rebute pas, offrez-vous le Blu-ray ! Mais ce DVD, encore une fois, ne pâlit pas et le travail de restauration effectué sur un master HD par Sony Columbia est vraiment superbe.
