4.0 out of 5 stars Truly frightening yet nostalgic witchcraft movie, 26 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Night Of The Eagle [VHS] [1962] (VHS Tape)
This is still the most frightening witchcraft movie together with Jacques Tourneurs "Night of the Demon"; that is, if you're willing to accept b/w format and prefer psychological (and emotional) drama to clinical special FX orgies. The acting is terrific, especially by the two antagonizing over-the-top female leads.

Some reviews pointed out that "Night ..." is a study in male rationalism vs. female irrationalism, but there is no doubt that the guys have to accept the powers whose existence they denied up to the last point. So the struggle is less male vs. female but rather the logical mind vs. the irrational drives in ourselves, both "angst" and destructive forces. (On the other hand, a little witchcraft can liven up life on the countryside, can't it?)

The print is good but still in fullframe (1.33) presentation instead of the original 1.66 widescreen ratio. This one SCREAMS to be on DVD! How about a double feature disc with "Night of the Demon"? I'll be the first one to buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Conjure Wife, 11 Nov 2007
Taken from Fritz Leibers effectively eerie novella, Conjure Wife, this crisp black & white piece has all the hallmarks of a classic. Not least of these the cinematography that gradually descends from brightly lit modernity into the primal shadows, reminiscent of Val Lewtons films.

Creepy & slowly unsettling yet strangely rattling along at a fair pace, the witchcraft versus science themes(intercutting of light & darkness, clarity & confusion) have rarely been so deftly underscored with such vague hints of menace. Fright comes from realization of the impending breakdown of mind & possibly body..Similar scenarios appearing in City of the Dead & Night of the Demon bare comparison... if you'd enjoy an evening that will leave you creeped, light a few candles, ignore that telephone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unheralded classic, 16 Jan 2008
By S J Buck (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Night of the Eagle doesn't seem to get shown on television very much, which is really strange as its a cracking supernatural thriller. Peter Wyngarde (remember Department S?) stars with Janet Blair as Norman and Tansy Taylor. Its made clear right from the outset of the film that Norman is a sceptic and doesn't believe in the supernatural. Unfortunately Tansy does and is heavily involved in it.

The film was clearly influenced by Night of the Demon and it very nearly matches that film in most respects: The lighting and sound are excellent, its only 84mins long, so there really isn't a wasted minute, and the two leading performances are memorably good. Perhaps the only area where its a little weaker than Night of the Demon is the absence of any of that films occasional black comedy moments.

In short if you haven't seen this, then you've missed a minor classic that I believe will hold up to repeated viewings.
