'THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW'.........AND ON EVERYBODY ELSE, TOO.......

The Blood On Satan's Claw (1971)    We've no real idea what the Brits who cobbled this one together had in mind here........

              It's juicy fun to watch, even if it looks like the filmmakers made it up as they went along.....

              Early on, we think there's some kind of hairy monster bedeviling, so to speak, a whole village of 17th century English country bumpkins........

               And for random crazed superstitious villagers enraged by the devil, nothing beats the 17th century........at one point, they even try the old 'throw the witch in the pond to see if she floats' routine......always a showstopper.....

                The hairy beast, however, takes some time off and the satanic mayhem is turned over to the village teens, led by an overheated blonde with Halloween Shop eyebrows......

                And for those you unimpressed by Halloween Shop eyebrows, Satanic Sally or whatever her name is, has no problem shedding her clothes.......(always a big plus for fans of R-rated horror)

                 More chaos ensues, including a poor possessed girl who spouts a hairy patch on her leg........which the village doctor (who prefers bleeding out his patients to heal them) slices it off with the finesse of a coked-up Beverly Hills plastic surgeon......you'll mutter 'ouch!' all the way through it.....
                Not one minute of this makes any sense, but in the hands of classy British actors, it comes off crazier than a parlementary Brexit debate.......

               Senseless but never boring, we'll manage to bleed out 2 & 1/2 stars for this nasty little dollop of creatures, devil-babes and woebegone witch hunters......it's a hella good time.
