American psychologist John Holden (Dana Andrews – Laura, The Best Years of Our Lives) journeys to London to debunk a devil-worshipping cult. Following a trail of mysterious manuscripts, Holden enters a mysterious terrifying world that soon makes him question his faith in science.
Released in a truncated version in the USA as Curse of the Demon (we’re showing the full length UK version) and based on a short story by seminal horror writer M. R. James and atmospherically directed as an occult noir by Jacques Tourneur. Superior British scare fare which will have you shrieking “It’s in the trees! It’s coming!” (Well it did for Kate Bush as sampled in her Hounds of Love).
With an introduction at our Saturday afternoon screening.
Showing with the short film:
ROAD AHEAD CLOSED (PG)
Dir Lily Paris (UK 2024, 8mins)
