I saw Black Noon on TV when I was a kid. I tracked down a really bad copy on e-bay, but it was worth it to see the film again. It has a rather horrific ending that comes upon the reverend suddenly, rather like The Wicker Man.

I just watched this movie last night. It was sent to me by a friend who sells hard-to-find, oldschool horror films. I paid for a couple (Something Evil and Crowhaven Farm), and he sent me Black Noon for free as a bonus.
I must say that "Black Noon" is the best of the three. It is very much like The Wicker Man. What word would fit it best-- antecedant..? Predecessor?
I'm not a control freak, I just like things my way
I totally agree but for some reason Crowhaven Farm has eclipsed BN in the minds of many horror/supernatural film fans.
shareI saw it too on TV in 1971. Did not like the ending. Don't plan to watch it again.
shareThe ending seals the deal.
You know who the deal is with?
(Insert evil cackle as spoiler)
I feel the same way about Wicker Man. I saw both versions. Likewise Population 487. I like for the good guy/gals to win most of the time. All of them were downers.
Rarely has a film had two such powerful back-to-back scenes as BLACK NOON. Even with the heavy foreshadowing, it sends an eerie chill up the old spine.
