Depraved practices and satanism envelop a seemingly remote country village in one of the key films of British folklore horror.
In 17th-century rural England, when a strange old skull is unearthed in a field, evil erupts across the countryside. The children in the village become afflicted by a strange supernatural power, slowly converting into a coven of devil worshippers, led by the malevolent Angel Blake. With demonic forces taking hold and the demon slowly rebuilding his body, the villagers find themselves entangled in a desperate battle between good and evil.
Guaranteed to make you unsettled every time you pass a hedgerow in the British countryside, The Blood on Satan’s Claw needs little introduction. With a heady concoction of old-style horror and sex, served up with a uniquely English take on witchcraft, this 70s gem is a brilliant example of the dual representation of the witch: an emblem of feminine power, but also one that men will go to any lengths to resist and destroy.
