Product Description

A creepy horror film, set in 17th-century England. Chaos strikes a small village after a farmer discovers the remains of a demon that had been buried under the ground. The creature's claw has supernatural powers and takes control of the minds of various members of the community. The young people who are possessed soon start sacrificing their neighbours to the monster. Will anybody be able to break the spell of the fiend once and for all. Bonus features include newly written liner notes, stills gallery and the original theatrical trailer. This is the League of Gentlemen's favorite and the inspiration for League of Gentlemen's Apocolypse.

Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
A classic of British horror, blessed with a moody, haunting score married to an autumnal british countryside. A sublimely sinister use of the Devil's interval within the score & the visual and auditory tonal descent is mature and masterful, somehow suggestive of a dark, almost sombre metaphysical pining, of a sense of loss (of innocence mayhaps) or moreover a refusal to diminish to nothing. The cinematography displays a textured frame, is an enclosure of brambling, hedged in limited village life exposed to abruptly freed, pan-daemonic, roaming, unfettered paganism.

The film has such a number of 'things going for it'...The acting is first rate, a lot of actors/actresses that will do broader work in various genres in the years to come. Linda Hayden is of course a key figure, having a penchant for seduction clothed or otherwise, whilst being one of the few of the populace to exhibit a persuasive modern sexuality and the instigator of the wonder of guile to begin with. A vast majority of the folk are either guileless or plain naive otherwise, the counterpoint of being cunning is (and indeed was/is a component in witchcraft) seen as dangerous and undermining the church authority from the perspective of the general populace. This is a simple tale on the surface of the not too distant past, the elder patriarchal christian system being challenged by a resurgence of primal gutsy sexual darkness.

Overall a gorgeous image, top notch audio and a plentiful bough of extras that actually bear reasonable relevance to the main feature. Many of the extras are the same as the dvd release, with added commentary of loons, Haggard interview etc. However you cut it, this is the british golden moment for the Tigon films when they actually made something that Hammer would have been slightly envious of. An ominous, potent throwback to the things that cause us to be a'feared whenever the woods closed in about the unwary. Uniquely british folkloric quality and none the worse for it.

**** few slight spoilers ****
BOSC, emerged from the legendary Tigon stable shortly after the brilliant Witchfinder General which, in many aspects, it resembles and to which it can be justifiably regarded as a companion piece. Similarly set in 17th century England, BOSC also explores rural pagan beliefs and practices. Here though, the roles are most definitely reversed. Whilst Matthew Hopkins was a monster and the alleged witches he persecuted largely innocent, in BOSC, the judge/witchfinder, superbly played by Patrick Wymark (Cromwell in Witchfinder General) in his final performance, is very much the hero. At first sceptical that the black arts retain any power, Wymark comes to accept the reality of evil made incarnate and meets it head on in the stunning climax (watch out for the inspired freeze-frame effect that has been often imitated but never bettered). The ambiguity, up until to the final sequence, as to whether the fiend really exists or is merely mass hysteria, is cleverly developed and reinforced by scenes such as only Peter alone witnessing the horrific transformation of his fiancée and, of course, the famous 'hand' sequence.
Admittedly, in places, the story feels slightly fragmentary (the commentary option explains how the screenplay developed from three separate stories), the overall effect, though, is utterly compelling and, perhaps strangely given the grim subject matter, utterly beautiful. The camerawork, courtesy of the splendidly named Dick Bush, is the stuff of genius. Look out for unusual and inventive camera angles and several extended scenes, obviously completed in one masterful shot.

It is a difficult task to review 'Blood On...' without mentioning The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General - two undisputed (and idiosyncratically English) masterpieces of British horror cinema, so I'll take it for granted that all readers of this have either seen, or know of, these films, and will thus be acquainted with: 'Folk Horror', period settings, puritanical and religious hypocrisy, moral ambiguity and subtly nihilistic undertones etc.

In my opinion, it is as good as either picture, and possibly better in some ways. What should be cliched and comical (dialogue, the haircuts, the ever-so-familiar construction of hypocritical and contemptuous figures in moral authority, such as the parson and judge) seems grounded and familiar, even authentic. Regardless of the historical accuracy of the film, it feels right, and looks right. 'Satan' could also have been laughable, but isn't at all - prefixed by occasional glimpses of his arm and an appearance in a text on witchcraft that Patrick Wymark studies doubtfully earlier in the film, you know what to expect. So, when the wonderfully twisted, palsied and grotesque face finally appears, it's unlikely that you'll be terrified, but again, it seems credible, believable and needed, a part of the 'terror in daylight' aspect of the picture that works so well, especially in ye olde idyllic, rustic context that frames the film.

The cast, made up almost entirely of actors whose CVs barely extend beyond extra roles in BBC dramas and the occasional Hammer film (Darius Shimon's exemplary booklet notes describe them as 'seasoned professionals...
