| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonSweeps from beginning to end in a single clean, unhurried but unflagging, rush of narrative. |

| User ReviewAllen DKim Hunter (in her film debut) stars as a young woman who goes to New York to search for her missing Sister. Once there she crosses paths with Satanists in this haunting, melancholic and downright disturbing masterpiece from producer Val Lewton's chiller series. This for me is the very best of the Lewton films and it contains some of the most powerful and creepy scenes in all of cinema. How on earth did something this inventive and daring slip through at the height of the Hollywood studio period? |

| User ReviewScott RWhat starts as a simple missing persons noir spirals into a bleak psychological horror about one suicidal woman wronging a powerful satanic cult and escaping the only way she knows how. A fascinating & deeply unsettling B film that went on to influence such bigger horror classics as Psycho & Rosemary's Baby. |
| User ReviewMemo PPerhaps an early nor influence, this is an outstanding early horror classic by Val Lewton through RKO that includes a clear precursor to Hitchcock's shower scene in Psycho. The film has a great oeuvre and soundtrack and the film is well-preserved. The best picture by Val Lewton, who made a number of early horror firlms. |
| User ReviewIrvin COne of my favorite Val Lewton productions. A beautiful mystery movie about a young girl looking for her missing elder sister that finds out about a satanic secret society among the rich people of New York. Ahead of its time indeed. |
