Folky horror frights. When a farmer unearths a deformed skull, a series of mysterious supernatural transformations occur within his village and an evil cult is formed., Picturesque tale of murder and witchcraft in 17th-century Britain. Patrick Wymark, Linda Hayden. Ralph: Barry Andrews. Isobel: Avice Landon. Peter: Simon Williams. Squire: James Hayter. Rosalind: Tamara Ustinov. Mark: Robin Davies. Directed by Piers Haggard., Patrick Wymark, Linda Hayden and Barry Andrews star in this Satanic horror set in rural 17th-century England. From the moment in the opening sequence in which a strange, semi-decomposed skull is unearthed by Ralph Gower as he ploughs a field, it’s obvious that something unwholesome is up. More alarming are the creepy transformations visited upon the village’s children – and which also affect a shapely young woman, Angel Blake, who seems to be at the centre things (and who, in addition to spontaneously sprouting a claw, appears to have developed an intermittent aversion to her clothing). Initially dismissing Gower’s fears as superstition, the local judge eventually investigates further and realises that the community is in the grip of a very real demonic threat., After a plowboy accidentally unearths the skeletal remains of a demonic creature, a cult of teenage devil-worshippers emerges in a 17th-century Cornwall farming community, led by the gorgeous temptress Angel (Linda Hayden, who positively smolders). Together, the children begin performing blood sacrifices in order to bring the skeletal demon back to life. The film eventually steers into witch-hunt territory — in the vein of Michael Reeves’ Witchfinder General — as the superstitious locals use inquisition-style practices to put a stop to Hayden’s cult. This lush, moody horror piece is superbly written, though the plot becomes a bit dense at times; the film was originally intended as a three-part series, but was eventually edited down to one feature. Still, Piers Haggard’s assured direction keeps the threads together and provides just enough shock value to keep viewers on their toes. Watch for Peter Ustinov’s daughter Tamara as one of the children. The Blood on Satan’s Claw was also released as Satan’s Claw and Satan’s Skin.
