This is an excellent, disturbing movie. I saw it as "Burn, Witch, Burn." My main suggestion would be to lose the Ed Wood-like voice-over that introduces it. We're all grown-ups here.
Janet Blair is excellent as the faculty wife who may be going to extremes to protect her husband's career. Her husband shows off some beefcake. He's a handsome man named Wyngarde.
Also superb is Margaret Johnston. She plays Cora, wife of another professor.
We meet Wyngarde as he is teaching. His students are alternately bored and fascinated by his lecture on black magic. Giving nothing away, let's just say the occult indeed plays a large part in the movie itself. These are Samantha and Jeanie types -- but they mean business. Big-time.
It's frightening. It's believable. This movie grabs you by the more and you can't breathe till it's over.
