Review of The Blood on Satan's Claw

I hunted the world down to catch me a copy of this UK flick. So it had to come all the way from Australia to see the restored uncut and uncensored version. And what did I see, another witch hunt movie typical for the 70's. But this one has something special, it's also a bit of a Gothictale. Imaginary vision that you see the Devil, and dismembering yourself thinking you are possessed. Well done, only in Britain they can film such things and this isn't even a Hammermovie, that's why it is a bit hard to track it down. It is situated in the 17th century but still the peasants are believing in witches. So a town becomes obsessed of the underworld. It's all weird to explain this movie but it's really nice filmed, that I can tell and Linda Hayden gives a great performance. A time when everybody could be accused of witchcraft or rape. Just conclude that this flick is about witch hunts (noticed how they tested if you are a witch, it was really that why), satanism, mutilation, torture and rape. A really nice piece of history but not that well-known as Witchfinder General due the less known actors/actresses. Cheap to find this version in Australia but worth every cent.
