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

A quite good period piece of folk horror from the 1970s, that has an interesting atmosphere. Theres some interesting subtext regarding a choice made by one of the characters, that is never explained in the movie itself but adds a bit of a twist to the ending once you think on it.
So I didn't see what other reviews saw, did we watch a different film?
Oldie but goodie
Up there with The Wicker Man as arguably the greatest folk horror ever made . Highly enjoyable classic.
Great Movie
