A great thrilling classic based on striking up a bargain with Satanic Powers much as Faust did way back in the Middle Ages. Satan gets your soul in exchange for what you desire be it your youth, better looks, more intelligence... whatever. Here an actor makes the demand of Satanists who seem regular run of the mill people. The film is not horrific in the classic sense except for one small scene. The suspense is built up to such fever pitch that we don't know how much more we can tolerate in this demonic situation. Ruth Gordon playing the old woman next door won a well deserved Supporting Oscar as the Demon Worshipper trying to win over the young couple to Satanism. This is the intelligent's man 'horror/thriller' flick.
