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 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCurse of the Demon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e one of the best horror films of the 1950s.
