The Blood on Satan's Claw

Why watch?
“The horror of The Blood On Satan's Claw is buried deep in the soil, festering beneath the fields until it is exhumed by mere chance. This is what it means to live in a haunted landscape, a land rich with a sense of the eerie; a land of restless dead and cursed relics. Such horrors do not leap out and shout “boo”. They seep into your psyche, incited by mere suggestion and half-seen glimpses. In the film, the uncanny forces of the landscape are hinted at by a subtle creative flourish in which the camera is often placed at ground level. Peering up from the furrows, the land itself becomes a character with a perspective of its own, leering at the unwary villagers as they edge ever closer to chaos and barbarity.”

The Blood On Satan’s Claw: A Journey into Eerie Albion
In 17th-century rural England, when a strange old skull is unearthed in a field, evil erupts across the countryside. The children in the village become afflicted by a strange supernatural power, slowly converting into a coven of devil worshippers, led by the malevolent Angel Blake. With demonic forces taking hold and the demon slowly rebuilding his body, the villagers find themselves entangled in a desperate battle between good and evil.
Guaranteed to make you unsettled every time you pass a hedgerow in the British countryside, The Blood on Satan’s Claw needs little introduction. With a heady concoction of old-style horror and sex, served up with a uniquely English take on witchcraft, this '70s gem is a brilliant example of the dual representation of the witch: an emblem of feminine power, but also one that men will go to any lengths to resist and destroy.
