Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

nightroses It's the symbol throughout this film, of wild flowers all picked either for someone's grave, as gifts or worn as a crown during a Satanic ritual. Scenes of these wild white flowers are in the countryside of the rural village where the film is set. It's got a handsome lord's son Peter who takes home his fiance, a peasant girl who's disliked by Peter's aunt. She's forced to sleep in the attic, where she screams and goes mad then carted off, giving Peter a dozy smile. Peter's uncle is the judge who acts as the official and also skeptic on matters of weirdness. Things have happened among the kids after a strange body was discovered by Ralph the young strong farmer and hero. The local school teacher is the vicar and he's never pleased while the kids pass around objects that look sinister. I disliked the rape scene and yet there was some form of evil influence going on among the people involved. The film isn't as big as "The Wicker Man" or "Witchfinder General" although it's far more earthy, grubby, sore and quieter.

Claudio Carvalho In the XVIII Century, in the countryside of England, the landsman Ralph Gower (Barry Andrews) finds a skull with one eye and fur on the field. He summons the local judge (Patrick Wymark) to see his finding but it has disappeared. Meanwhile the local Peter Edmonton (Simon Williams) brings his fiancée Rosalind Barton (Tamara Ustinov) to his aunt's house to marry her on the next day. However during the night Rosalind becomes insane and in the morning she is sent to an asylum and Peter sees a claw that has replaced her hand. Then Peter wakes up with a claw attacking him and he cuts it out, but he finds that he has hacked down his own hand. The local children have a strange behavior under the command of Angel Blake (Linda Hayden) and they rape and kill others. In common, they have a strange fur on their skin. The judge returns from London and concludes that evil has possessed the children. What will he and his search party do?"The Blood on Satan's Claw" is a weird and cult British horror film. The plot is very strange and original but some scenes are sort of disconnected. The beauty of Linda Hayden tempting the reverend is worthwhile watching. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "O Estigma de Satanás" ("The Stigma of Satan")

begob Good for a few laughs, but it's a weak effort even allowing for its vintage.The opening sequence fails to show what we're looking at in the ploughed earth so we have to be told. The direction of the actor breaking in to the attic to save his fiancée is terrible.The judge is well played, but there's confusion over who the hero is. A mother who's just lost her two children isn't allowed to play out any grief. Several scenes get lost in a thicket of Thee and Thou, and a few characters disappear or are irrelevant to the ending - no idea why the vicar wasn't central to the de-demonising.The score is far too chipper in the first half. Some of the continuity jumps are incompetent. And the monster is ... undescribabubble. That paw coming up from the floorboards? Fcuk me. And the final sequence? My sainted trousers.Can't understand why it's rated so high. Guess it's the headbangers - no distinction between bad and laughable.

Andrew Wakely Filled with cheesy acting and obligatorily campy dialog, this British horror staple is a winner.A tale of wicked children from a rural village transforming into beastly devil worshipers in 17th century England, and the religious fervor it spawns, it almost sounds like it could have been a true story. Authentic landscapes, excellent costuming and the generally gloomy atmosphere further adds to the sense of realism. filled with ignorant peasants, bewigged judges, spooky children and icy, hatched-faced vicars, this classic is definitely worth viewing, whether you are a fan of cult films, camp, or horror in general.
