The Blood on Satan's Claw
Directed by Piers Haggard
After a beastly creature’s bones are unearthed in a small British village, the teenagers quickly fall under the spell of a Satanic entity who gives them each a yucky patch of furry skin. Led by the seductive Angel Blake (Linda Hayden), the kiddies form a cult and start playing deadly games with their elders– and anyone who gets in their way! Though overshadowed in horror history by THE WICKER MAN, BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW is arguably as chilling.
Teens from a small British village fall under the spell of a Satanic beast in this British horror classic.
Cast: Patrick Wymark, Linda Hayden, Barry Andrews, Michele Dotrice

The film seems to argue the good leadership of old Salem had a point...
I vaguely remember seeing this decades ago, I still enjoyed it. It drags a little here and there but otherwise a worthwhile watch.
Beautifully remastered! Story was a bit all over the place and a little bloated. Pacing was pretty steady despite the plot issues. Acting was fairly good, writing is pretty good.
THE ultimate epitome of 'Folk Horror'.
Sexy, dark and delicious staple of the genre.
