The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971), directed by Piers Haggard, V2 88 Films 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical dual mono, three commentary tracks, and English subtitles.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066849/
Video encoded in two-pass 13.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. OCRed, proofed, and corrected subtitles taken from my previous release.
Note : One of the "Unholy Trinity" of British folk horror, the originators of the genre, along with The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General, this British period number isn't very shocking by today's standards, with the possible exception of a prolonged rape scene, but it has atmosphere in droves, and the weird woodland rituals with flower crowns and white robes definitely inspired fare like Midsommar. The camerawork captures the misty English landscape from eerie angles, the folk-inflected music is appropriately creepy, and farming tools are put to inappropriate use. Definitely a seminal folk horror work. The cast is also great, including the wonderful Patrick Wymark, as well as Linda Hayden, Barry Andrews, Michele Dotrice, Wendy Padbury, and Anthony Ainley.
A farmer in 17th century Britain plows up a strange, monstrous skull in his field, although when he alerts the local judge, they return to find it gone. The same day, Peter Edmonton brings his fiancee Rosalind to meet his aunt, who disapproves of the relationship and forces Rosalind to sleep in a disused attic room, where she suffers some sort of attack during the night, emerging delirious. The judge has her committed, but Peter glimpses her hand on the way out, and it seems to have been replaced by a monstrous claw. Three children find a claw from the same body as the skull, and later that night, Peter is attacked in his sleep by the same claw, when he fights back, the judge bursts in and finds he's hacked off his own hand. Angel, a girl from the village, makes the village children skip school so they can participate in strange rituals which lead to one boy's death, and later tries to seduce the local priest. As signs of devil worship emerge all through the area, the judge is forced to take desperate measures to try to contain the evil.
This new 88 Films 4k remaster is quite nice, based on the same 4k remaster as my previous release, but with slightly better picture quality, and adding one new commentary track. Image is clean and sharp, although I could have wished for slightly less murky shadows, and maybe a tad less grain. Still, not much to complain about. The commentary tracks, one with the director, writer, and lead actress, the second (new) one with two critics, and the third with horror superfan Mark Gatiss and two of his colleagues from The League of Gentlemen, are good and entertaining, if perhaps a little gleeful about some of the more disturbing scenes.
