Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

christopher-underwood Fabulous and early English 70s horror, very much in the vein of Wicker Man and if it doesn't quite have that magical something the often inferior film does have, it does have considerable blood and guts. Set very much in the English countryside, this haunting and scary tale drags us into all sorts of horror, both perceived and actual. We never quite see the devilish being, cleverly avoided with harsh and frantic close-ups and discordant sound, but we get a wince inducing 'devil's skin' removal scene and many a violent act. We also get to see much more pleasant young female skin and some crazy and believable woodland set witchcraft scenes. I'm not sure I liked the 'oldie world' language moments and one or two of the births acting stalwarts were a bit lacking but overall everyone dealt very well with an excellent script and confident direction with splendid editing.

begob Good for a few laughs, but it's a weak effort even allowing for its vintage.The opening sequence fails to show what we're looking at in the ploughed earth so we have to be told. The direction of the actor breaking in to the attic to save his fiancée is terrible.The judge is well played, but there's confusion over who the hero is. A mother who's just lost her two children isn't allowed to play out any grief. Several scenes get lost in a thicket of Thee and Thou, and a few characters disappear or are irrelevant to the ending - no idea why the vicar wasn't central to the de-demonising.The score is far too chipper in the first half. Some of the continuity jumps are incompetent. And the monster is ... undescribabubble. That paw coming up from the floorboards? Fcuk me. And the final sequence? My sainted trousers.Can't understand why it's rated so high. Guess it's the headbangers - no distinction between bad and laughable.

AaronCapenBanner When a young farmer(played by Barry Andrews) unearths the satanic-looking remains of an unknown creature, he gets the local judge(played by Patrick Wymark) to view them, but then a mysterious and deadly chain of events begins as the bones somehow regrow themselves into a furry claw that attacks a man in an attic. Meanwhile, local children led by Angel Blake(the beautiful Lynda Hayden) start practicing evil rites meant to fully resurrect the demonic being. Can the judge and townsfolk stop this threat in time? Though atmospherically directed by Piers Haggard, with a fine cast(including past and future "Doctor Who" actors Wendy Padbury, and Anthony Ainley) this is an otherwise most disjointed and unpleasant film, with gaping narrative holes, such as how this thing got started in the first place, and spread so quickly. The ending also feels truncated. Still, there are some effective sequences here and a spooky score, it's just a pity the script is so muddled.

sol1218 **SPOILERS** Atmospheric 17th Century horror movie involving the emergence of the Devil-Satan-in a small out of the way English town. Satan was awaken from his slumber when local plowman Ralph Grover, Barry Andrews, unknowingly dug him, or some part of him, up.Getting himself into action in no time at all Satan started to corrupt the local community by somehow getting 17 year old Angel Blake, Linda Hayden, to do his evil bidding. He had already drove newlyweds Simon Williams, Peter Edmonton, and his soon to be bride Rosalind Barton, Tamara Ustinov, mad just to get himself into shape for the much bigger and better, for himself, things he had planned for the unsuspecting villagers. Angel's job was to get the youth of the village to disrespect their God fearing parents and elders by forming a Witch's Coven where all the evil and detestable things involving Satanism was preformed;Like all day and night sex orgies as well as human and animal sacrifices.It was the wise and incorruptible village pastor Reverand Followfield, Anthony Ainley, who saw through Angel's sweet and innocent act in corrupting his church, made up mostly of teenager, members which had him targeted by her, and her boss Satan, for elimination. The deceitful Angel tried to get Reverand Followfield defrocked if not burned at the stake in accusing him of raping her. The fact is that Angel tried to throw herself, bear a** naked, at the shocked Revernd Followfield who then kicked her out of his congregation! ***SPOILERS*** The films fiery climax has the outraged villagers track down Angel's followers as well as the dismembered Satan who's, since we first saw him, been glued plastered and pasted back together for the final showdown between good and evil in the movie. Disrupting the Satanist's nightly sacrificial orgy that involved the attempted murder as well as corruption, by a naked and very well endowed member of the Witch's Coven, of the God fearing Ralph Grover the mad as hell members of the village finally take action against this unspeakable evil. The villagers lead by the local judge, Patrick Wymark, put an end to this evil in their mist in a slow-mo impalement of the Devil with his followers, including Angel, totally helpless and unable to prevent it from happening!
