Night of the Eagle (1962) – S. Hayers
Similar to
Curse of the Demon, this film pits a university professor against the supernatural
in a low-key nothing-but-shadows Val Lewton-styled approach. And there are some
genuinely scary moments when all the protection charms are burnt and who knows
what is going to happen. The soundtrack is a real treat of scary flourishes. A
couple of jump cuts in the plot are all that keeps this from scoring higher.
