A horror movie, but with a lot of depth...

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

No doubt, it's a well made first class horror film, but not only that. Von Sidove is the true hero here, assisted by the younger priest.He faces an old arch enemy of his, the Satan , for the last showdown of good vs. evil.The effects used are excellent.<>: At the end the girl is escorted to the cab by her mother who tells the priest:"she remembers nothing"--"good" he retorts. But the girl suddenly turns back and gratefully kisses the priest's cheek as to let know, that she unconsciously ,at least , must thank him. And one more detail, Lee J. Cobb here, portrays the "earthly" and helpless hand of the law- takes his new friend by the arm in a picture shot at the same angel as in Casablanca's last scene and they both fade away like H.B and Claud Reinnes......
