Silly, preposterous, laughable - Yep. In a nutshell, these 3 words just about sum up this far-from-scary Supernatural Thriller from 1957..... With its absolutely hilarious demon monster-effects and its often overloud soundtrack music, Curse Of The Demon was far too much "yak-yak-yak" for its own good and not enough horrific demon monster presence to satisfy me..... Set in London, this film's hokey story has the sceptical, American psychologist, John Holden flying over to the UK in order to investigate an alleged devil worship cult headed by the sinister Prof. Kraswell..... Holden's arrogant scepticism soon takes a total U-Turn when he locks horns with the bull-headed Kraswell and his "so-called" magical powers...... I found that far too often this film took itself way too seriously. It handed the viewer a pile of asinine bunk about the occult, expecting one to swallow this utter nonsense at face value..... This film did contain a couple of brief scenes at England's famous "Stonehenge" site. And even though, in reality, Stonehenge is a good 80 miles north of London, it was implied that it was just a mere hop, skip, and a jump away from Piccadilly Circus..... Filmed in b&w, I cannot see how this movie could ever be considered a "cult" classic.
