The Blood Beast Terror ( 1968) directed by Vernon Sewell

 



I hope Peter Cushing was a paid a lot of money to be in this Hammer Horror wannabe production. Good looking young men are being found dead all over the countryside and inspector Cushing in on the case! 

Cutting to the chase, an entomologist has a sext daughter who is a were moth... yes you read that right. They also have male were moth ready to mature but it needs blood... virgin blood of course. 

This film is a mess! The giant moth stuff is not as bas you might think other being stupid and looking 100% like a rubber suit. They kill the were moth daughter by lighting a fire which she immediately dives into! There are a few day for night shots, I think, it's hard ot tell since they are no different from the day shots except you see more trees and less blue sky? 

None of this works. Peter Cushing is never bad but I only felt sorry he was in this.

  1. Yikes, another weird, bad movie with strangely homoerotic overtones. What IS it with the Brits?! Thanks for warning me off another one!
