Night Of The Eagle (1962) a.k.a. Burn, Witch, Burn!
A skeptical college professor discovers that his wife has been practicing magic for years.

If your looking for a good horror film to view on a rainy night than you definitely want to check this out. Not only is it well made but the acting is very good with some genuinely spooky moments.
This film is directed by Sidney Hayers who would go on to be one of the most popular and reliable television directors that Hollywood ever used. This is a low budget effort from AIP and Samuel Arkoff but with the English setting it plays like something from Hammer Studios.
Like the great Lawton/Tourneur film-noir horror movies of the 1940's "Burn Whitch Burn" lets your mind,not the special effects, do the thinking and thus literally scares the hell out of you.
Much of the horror here is simply implied, making it that much scarier, but what is shown is truly chilling. If you've never seen a believable performance in a horror movie, check out Wyngarde in this --his final scene should be shown in every drama school -- his fear is that palpable.
If you're a fan of films dealing with the supernatural than look no further because this is a well made chiller.
