Ep876: Beyond Hammerland: CURSE OF THE DEMON (1957)
This month, Ian and AC pass the parchment to Jacques Tourneur's Curse of the Demon!
The 1957 supernatural thriller finds skeptical American scientist John Holden (Dana Andrews) visiting the UK to deliver a lecture debunking renowned devil worshipper Dr. Julian Karswell (Niall MacGinnis). On arriving, he learns that one of his colleagues died mysteriously after having had a suspicious interaction with Karswell. Holden teams up with Karswell's niece, Joanna (Peggy Cummins) to solve a mystery that may just squash Holden's atheism in its razor-sharp brimstone grip!
In this spoiler-filled review, the guys discuss the film's controversial creature; its deft combination of engaging characters and unusual (for the time) story; and Curse's truly mind-blowing special effects--minus one scene in particular!
