“This remarkable Val Lewton thriller was screened for members of the cast and crew prior to the shooting of Rivette's Duelle. An eerie, economical ‘B' film about devil worshippers in Greenwich Village, directed by Mark Robson and scripted by DeWitt Bodeen, it proceeds from rational mystery to irrational terror, sweeping all its diverse characters into a doom-laden maelstrom that, like Duelle, seems founded upon a chilling kind of urban poetry.” Jonathan Rosenbaum
