City of the Dead	comment	The City of the Dead is a 1960 British horror film directed by John Llewellyn Moxey and starring Christopher Lee.Professor Alan Driscoll (Lee) teaches the history of witchcraft at a Chicago university. He encourages his star student, Nan Barlow (Venetia Stevenson), to take a field trip to the sleepy village of Whitewood, Massachusetts, the site of a famous 17th-century witch burning. Both Nan's skeptical brother Richard (Dennis Lotis) and her fiancé Bill (Tom Naylor) try to dissuade her from going, but her curiosity proves too powerful. After arriving in Whitewood, Nan finds accommodation at the Raven's Inn hotel, run by Mrs. Newless (Patricia Jessel), and plunges headlong into the town's satanic history. Little does she realize that she has been lured to Whitewood for a very sinister purpose.Compare with The Wicker Man (1973), another Folk Horror film starring Christopher Lee about a Town with a Dark Secret.

City of the Dead / int_d8d22bb0	comment	Dutch Angle: Used sparingly: once near the end when Dick Barlow leaves the inn and again with closeups of members of the coven as they try to sacrifice Pat Russell.
