THE BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW

FORMAT: BLU-RAY

HOSTED BY GREG SMITH

When a farmhand unearths a hideous relic in an English field, the village’s children begin falling under the influence of something ancient, carnal and profoundly unholy.

Alongside THE WICKER MAN and WITCHFINDER GENERAL, Piers Haggard’s THE BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW helped define British folk horror. Mud, superstition, corrupted youth and rural dread converge in a film that feels less like a period piece than a half-remembered pagan nightmare.
