Title: Masterpiece of atmosphere... and boy do I luv that DEMON!
Review: Wow, I agree with most everyone here, which is highly unusual! Very well done - a spooky, fun and scary masterpiece of atmospheric film-making by the master of the craft - plus I really dig that Demon! The movie is old so don't look for CG stuff, but they really don't make 'em like this anymore and I wish they did!I understand director Jacques Tournier was coerced by the studio into putting an actual monster into the movie - so, boo, I guess... but the truth is I'm glad it happened! I consider his towering puppet-monster to be one of the great creatures from any cinema age - elegantly designed, beautifully filmed and seamlessly integrated into the lurking, shadowy atmosphere that propels the rest of the film. Actually, the sort of waggling, gently flopping quality of the rubber giant only adds to it's terrible splendor. Tournier's magnificent Demon has what can only be called REAL CLASS!
