Better than I remember it
14 November 2021
I remember renting this as a young man and being disappointed with it. In giving this a rewatch I can appreciate the eeire atmosphere and good cinematography. The acting is also pretty solid. The Blood Under Satan's Claw is a creepy folk horror film where in rural 16th century England the youth go wild and worship Satan. Taking cues from The Wicker Man with the cult ritual stuff, it sometimes pushes the boundaries of sex and violence for it's time. I would consider it tame by today's standards, but for the time this was shocking. Overall this was a slow burn, but was well done.
