City of The Dead(1960).
A witch, Elizabeth Selwyn, is burnt at the stake in New England and puts a curse on the town before she dies. Moving to the present day, a young college student Nan Barlow is studying the history of witchcraft in the class of Professor Driscol, Christopher Lee. To further her education he recommends her to go to the town of Whitewood in New England.
Beautifully shot in black and white, this is a superb tale of witchcraft that's dripping in atmosphere. With the foreboding Raven's Inn run by the creepy Mrs. Newliss and the mist and fog that lingers in every corner of the town which gives a very uneasy and claustrophobic feeling.
The acting is also superb as well, with Christopher Lee as authoritative as ever. And the cute actress Venetia Stevenson who plays Nan Barlow is very good too as the headstrong young girl who may get more than she bargained for on Candlemas Eve.
Very highly recommended. And one of the best British horror films outside of Hammer. 9/10.
