故事勾勒
American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].

影响后世许多恐怖片创作
魔鬼為什麼只出現在50米遠處？直接出現在身後一伸爪子不就完了
这片子说来也有趣，剧情故事我还真没怎么看明白，之前看海报以为是水怪加宗教巫术题材的，结果还真不完全是，气氛和环境确实渲染的很好，虽然恶魔总共也就出现了三次吧，但那种急迫感十分到位，连我妈在一旁看了都跟着喊快跑快跑，不过这人物动机我不是很懂，就因为接替自己老师去调查，所以也被诅咒了？那大胡子母子俩又为什么要帮他呢？是我看片不仔细吗？结尾不转发就被干我能明白，但就影片大半部分安德鲁斯的调查令我不解，他忙来忙去最后调查出什么了？恶魔形象还是挺有趣的，大胡子妈妈演得真好！
三看。雅克·特纳明白，过度清晰的视觉暴露会消解神秘主义的认知压迫。在多数时刻，恐惧如影子般逡巡于叙事间隙——长廊道或楼梯转角处光影交错的褶皱空间，画框之外躁动的暗物质领域，在可知与不可知的疆界上演着永恒的博弈。结尾处，铁轨象征的线性秩序被呼啸而来的非理性力量拦腰截断，当汽笛嘶鸣与蒸汽迷雾共构出弥散性的混沌场域，我们便目睹了理性与迷信之界定是如何被蒸发殆尽的。“maybe it's better not to know”——作为现代性规训的化身，达纳·安德鲁斯的调查最终演变为一场知识体系的自我解构实验。特纳通过《恶魔之夜》昭示的，即是任何理性系统都相嵌的无法实证的命题，正如所有光明必将衍生新的阴影。恐惧——认知的形态。
神秘驱魔悬念genre的始祖，为一众类似故事定下基调；略冗长，但叙事注意力相对集中，使得力度得以保持；缺少视觉冲击力和技巧，剧本也是为叙事而叙事，没有层次，波兰斯基库布里克老马之所以是天才，就因为他们在继承结构的基础上看到了开启隐藏叙事的力量，而雷米只能拍堕入地狱
