The Beast Must Die
Directed by Paul Annett
A group of guests at a country house learn that one of them is secretly a werewolf in this supernatural mystery which famously included a Werewolf Break where audience members could guess the answer. Among the many suspects are archaeologist Peter Cushing (HORROR EXPRESS), piano player Michael Gambon (HARRY POTTER's second Dumbledore), and diplomat Charles Gray (the criminologist in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW), all of whom must submit to a series of strange werewolf tests. An unusually fun and frothy Amicus production TBMD is a hair-raisng good time.

Cheesy yet enjoyable.
Very interesting; a Werewolf/whodunnit.
This movie tells you in the opening sequence that YOU THE VIEWER are a detective trying to guess which guest is a werewolf. About 20 minutes left, the film puts a 30 second clock on the screen and asks you to make your guess before continuing. The whole movie has a great premise. It gets only 3 skulls because it's not scary and it doesn't give you real clues to solve who the werewolf is. This movie is just fine, but not something to seek out.
An enjoyable 70s Werewolf/ Horror/ Blaxploitation movie with a William Castle style whodunnit gimmicky moment. A fun watch, annually around Halloween 🎃. Groovy soundtrack. Calvin Lockhart has a very distinguished voice &
...mannerism. Great wardrobe!
