The Blood Beast Terror (1967)

PRESS

1968

Daily Cinema no.9485 (16 February 1968) p.6 (UK)
"Up to standard horror story given as much credibility as it can carry by reason of the sturdy performances of the cast. The period setting adds visual appeal and the production is glossy. The horror element leans heavily on the gruesome rather than the creepy with a great deal of blood splashed about and disappointingly little to be seen of the monstrous moth. Roy Hudd adds a few moments of macabre humour as a merry attendant in the morgue." - Marjorie Bilbow

Monthly Film Bulletin vol.35 no.414 (July 1968) p.101 (UK)
"Further adventures in the monsters of the 19th century rural England cycle, lamely directed and sloppily scripted. The screenplay is in fact a permutation of a dozen similar efforts (...) padded out with irrelevant interludes and notable only for some startling anachronisms. The monster moth itself might have succumbed to mothballs in the studio prop department for all we see of it; and when it finally does make an appearance, it turns out to be a flimsy creation of sackcloth and coloured stones." - anonymous
