The Black Cat (1934) :star: :star: :star: 1/2
By far the best of the Karloff/Lugosi team-ups. This one has Karloff as a devil-worshiping sadist who terrorizes a group of travelers. Lugosi is rather good as Karloff’s heroic arch-nemesis.
Night of the Demon :star: :star: :star: :star:
Tourneur’s atmospheric horror masterpiece as Dana Andrews investigates a demonology cult in Britain.
Black Sunday (1960) a.k.a. The Mask of Satan :star: :star: :star:
Mario Bava’s first feature is rich on atmosphere but after a fantastic opening sequence the plot becomes murky & the pacing drags a little. Worth watching but not my favorite Bava film.
The Masque of Red Death :star: :star: :star: :star:
Roger Corman’s ode to “The Seventh Seal” is perhaps the finest he ever made. The pinnacle of the gothic Poe/Price/Corman films from AIP.
The Devil Rides Out :star: :star: :star: 1/2
Scripted by Richard Matheson, this is one of the best films about the Black Arts. Chris Lee gives a standout performance as the heroic Duc de Richleau.
Rosemary’s Baby :star: :star: :star: :star:
Polanski’s classic is every pregnant mother’s nightmare as Mia Farrow is caught in the web of a devil-worshiping cult.
The Exorcist :star: :star: :star: :star:
This film changed the face of horror forever in this classic about a little girl’s demonic possession.
Suspiria :star: :star: 1/2
Argento’s classic about a school of witches. After one hell of an opening sequence, this one goes on cruise control & finally runs out of steam by the uninspired Roger Corman-like fiery finale.
