It!1967
“Bullets can't kill it! Fire can't burn it! Water can't drown it! How can we destroy IT before IT destroys us?”
Directed by Herbert J. Leder
The premise
After a warehouse fire, museum director Grove and assistant Pimm find everything destroyed, only one statue withstood the fire mysteriously undamaged. Suddenly Grove is lying dead on the ground, killed by the statue? Pimm finds out that the cursed statue has been created by Rabbi Loew in 16th century and will withstand every human attempt to destroy it. Pimm decides to use it to his own advantage.
Horror Vault's take
When a devastating warehouse fire leaves only a single ancient statue mysteriously unscathed, a quietly unhinged museum assistant becomes dangerously fixated on the artifact's dark potential. The statue has a legend stretching back to 16th-century Prague — a golem conjured by Rabbi Loew — and it does not tolerate interference lightly. Rather than fearing the relic, the protagonist sees opportunity where others see catastrophe, drawing him into an increasingly dangerous game with a force that has outlasted every attempt to destroy it. Roddy McDowall anchors this slow-burning British chiller with an unsettling, offbeat performance that keeps viewers guessing throughout.
