Night of the Eagle

Catching up before it's leaving Shudder. When a British professor ties his success to his wife's black magic, he destroys her spell to disastrous results. This film completely took me by surprise. _Burn, Witch, Burn_ aka _Night of the Eagle_ is an evocative horror thriller about witchcraft set at a university. It incorporates some elements that's surprisingly still occuring to this day. With a fairly slow start, it keeps getting better as it goes along and builds into a strong climax. The story is much more unique than I expected. It tries to battle witchcraft with science and that works great in the film. The effects and editing are impressive. I absolutely love the warning intro with the spooky narrator voice giving the audience some kind of protection from evil forces that may effect us during the film. That's a very nice touch. The performances are terrific and I love seeing shirtless Peter Wyngarde.
