The Blood On Satan's Claw. 1971.
Piers Haggard's take on the devil and small village manages to create terror right from the beginning that throws you into the film with no hesitation. The mood is a very big key to this film's success in pulling you in with its pervasively chilling and subtle imprint. Visually, Haggard manages to create a beautifully staged period horror by capturing the times and making the most of it's brooding countryside and quiet rural life. What gave it such an embracing atmosphere. The beautiful backdrop works rather well with the contrast to the devilishly acts occurring in the peaceful area.
