A rare horror classic that still holds up, and stil manages to be scary. One shot in particular makes the film a masterpiece, as it encapsulates everything that is great about the movie into one image. As the doctor looks out of his window he sees a perfectly normal looking town, but he knows that it is false, evil. Simply through context (and absolutely no manipulation of the image itself) the film is able to make the familiar and comforting into something alien and disturbing; something that has the form of virtue but not the substance.
