Tigon’s Talons.

Out of Tigon Productions comes The Blood On Satan’s Claw. Directed by Piers Haggard (who co-writes with Robert Wynne-Simmons) it stars Patrick Wymark, Linda Hayden, Barry Andrews, Michele Dotrice & Wendy Padbury. Story is set in rural 17th century England and sees a village fall under demonic possession after a living one eyed skull is unearthed by the local ploughman.

Well it’s quite a title the film has got, the sort that conjures up many a blood curdling image. Yet it’s some what misleading, but in a good way. There is indeed claws involved, and definitely “Old Nick” is part of the equation, but Haggard’s film is more moody and quirky than the title suggests. It has definite links to Tigon’s flag bearer, “Witchfinder General”, though not nearly as clever or as brilliantly cruel as Michael Reeves’ film. We are in the company of Wiccan ceremonies and satanically influenced children, throw in some sexually charged dalliances and we are good to go. Hell there’s even some smarts in the writing about class distinction and snobbery.

However, the first half of the piece is more rewarding than the last half. The atmosphere and eerie thematics give way to standardised jolts and gore, with a finale that just comes off as slow-mo silliness that doesn’t befit the earlier build ups in the script. The music (Marc Wilkinson), photography (Dick Bush), costumes (Dulcie Midwinter) and the acting (particularly petticoat terror Hayden) are of a very high standard. It’s such a pity that the director loses sight of the tone marker set and fails to see it through to a satisfying conclusion. Still, it’s definitely one of the better British horrors from the 70s – with eye catching period detail and a haunting poetic feel for the most part, The Blood On Satan’s Claw is a safe recommend to those that like a bit of Witchcraft and Satanism in their horror diets. 7/10

Review By: John Chard

***Creepy, unsettling, unconventional, realistic and artistic, but also tedious***

In the early 1700s, devil worship rears its sinister head in a village in England. Barry Andrews (who looks like Roger Daltrey) plays the young man who initially acquires evidence of the deviltry while Patrick Wymark plays the investigator and Anthony Ainley the minister. The young females include Tamara Ustinov (Rosalind), Linda Hayden (Angela), Wendy Padbury (Cathy) and Michele Dotrice (Margaret).

When you think of 60s-70s British horror you automatically think of Hammer Films, but Tigon’s “The Blood on Satan’s Claw” (1971) doesn’t have that Hammer or Amicus vibe; or even American International. It’s avant-garde, inventive and lifelike with a harrowing pervasive dread. Unfortunately, it’s also tedious, particularly during the first half.

One sequence is especially unsettling and remains controversial to this day. However, it was preceded by non-horror films with scenes that were even more unsettling and controversial, like Roger Corman’s “The Wild Angels” from five years earlier, which showed a bike gang beating up the kindly minister who performed the funeral of their fallen comrade, as well as totally trashing his sanctuary (!). Then two of the bikers cruelly rape their dead comrade’s girlfriend (!). To top it off, they outrageously abuse his corpse at the funeral party (!!). “Last Summer” (1969) is another example, masquerading as a teen beach drama. So, while a certain scene in “Blood on Satan’s Claw” is effectively unsettling, other movies outside the horror genre had already paved the way.

The film runs 1 hour, 37 minutes, and was shot just west of London at Pinewood Studios, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, and places nearby, like Oxfordshire.

GRADE: B-

Review By: Wuchak
A folk horror staple
This film is just as bonkers as it sounds. Another Tigon production, it was massively influenced by Witchfinder General and is just as unflinching if not the depraved masterpiece that its predecessor is.

All the ingredients of a great ‘folk horror’ staple are here- witch trials, a country setting, Olde English magick and buxom wenches showing off their voluptuous delights.

Joe Dante says this is one of the best horror films of the 70’s. I agree with him.
