On Monday 25/03/2024 88FILMS put out two fantastic looking releases to debut their Tigon collection. The Blood on Satan’s Claw & Witchfinder General. Both on 4K in lovely slipcover editions.
The Blood on Satan’s Claw is a classic British satanic horror and period piece. It focuses around a sleepy English village where a group of Satanists and the devil himself have indoctrinated the young and begin slaughtering innocent victims. The ring leader Angel Blake, played by Linda Hayden, does a fantastic job in the role. Bringing a devilish charm and psychotic look about her.
The new transfer is very good and the film has obviously never looked better. This fresh coat of paint was much needed although previous Blu-Ray editions also looked nice too. The 4K scan gives the film some more oomph power and for a collector this new disk and set is a must have. I plan on collecting all of 88’s new Tigon range. The next two releases are Blu-Ray, I suppose they’re not as big releases as the debuting two which received 4K UHDs, I am looking forward to Beast in The Cellar on the line.
Overall a solid new 4K for The Blood on Satan’s claw. The new artwork on the slipcover is also gorgeous and the best cover I have seen for the film. There’s reversible artwork on the case sleeve and an adequate accompanying booklet.
