Professor Harrington pledges to stop his investigation into Karswell's Satanic cult but he gets killed by a giant demon anyways. Dr. John Holden flies to London to a scientific conference debunking Karswell. He is shocked by Harrington's death and approached by Karswell. Harrington's niece Joanna assists him by Harrington's diary.
The demon is amazing. It's old fashion in-camera effects. I love the creature design. It's old but it's beautiful. Every time it shows up, I get a jolt of excitement. The other parts of the movie are more flat. Director Jacques Tourneur is laying down B-horror material but I can still see its influence on modern horror. The acting, the pacing, and the camera style are all pretty stiff. On the other hand, I love that monster so much.
