The Blood on Satan's Claw
Jun. 4th, 2015 08:09 pmI continue watching old movies/tv series just because one particular actor, in this case Anthony Ainley. And The Blood on Satan’s Claw.
Oh, this was a bad one. The Shroud of the Mummy at least followed a narrative logic; Be warned against entering the mummy’s grave. Enter the mummy’s grave. Be killed off by the mummy. The Blood on Satan’s Claw’s plot was rather muddled, but this is what I think happens: A farmer finds a head in the ground, looking rather icky and with patches of fur. The head disappears, but young people starts to get affected by mysterious attacks and/or gets bespelled and starts to meet up for chanting and sex. They also get patches of fur growing. Then they are sacrificed and I think the fur was harvested and when enough had been collected, Satan would rise in corporeal form. It was all a bit patchy and the narrative all over, so it was difficult to follow. In the end the almost complete Satan was dispatched anyway, in a sequence with really bad special effects.
