Night Of The Demon (1957)

Paranormal sceptic Dr Holden arrives in the UK to expose a cult leader just as his colleague is killed. He slowly comes to realise that diabolical events may be taking place and the cult leader may be behind them.
One of the all time classics. Dana Andrews may be a bit stiff, and you have to agree with the director that the appearance of the monster (on the insistance of the backers) does nothing for the film, but the film is still a treat as it charts the mounting terror of Dr Holden, the sceptic who learns to believe. Superb.
