Overview

Monstrous Flesh x The Screen at Contemporary present Hideous Thing Inside
Delving into fairy tales and folklore to explore the wild feral, forbidden, feminine.

 

A living nightmare of black magic... and unspeakable evil!

 

Part of the unholy trinity of British folk horror alongside The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General, The Blood on Satan’s Claw taps into uncanny currents in quaint rural corners of England, and the duality of the Witch: a synonym of feminine power, and a symbol that men will go to any lengths to resist and destroy. With an unforgettable folk-baroque soundtrack and an array of superb character actors, it reflects on the societal unease felt post sexual revolution.
