Description

Gold Winner for Best Drama Special at the 2018 New York Festivals® International Radio Awards.

Seventeenth-century England, and a plough uncovers a grisly skull in the furrows of a farmer's field. The skull disappears, but its malefic influence begins to work in insidious ways upon the nearby village of Hexbridge. First, the cows stop milking and the fruit turns rotten on the trees. Then, an insolent ungodliness takes hold of the local children, mysterious fur patches appear on limbs and people start disappearing....

Something evil is stirring in the woods. Something that is corrupting the village youth, who retreat to the woodland deeps to play their pernicious games. Hysteria spreads as it becomes clear that the devil has come to Hexbridge, to incarnate himself on earth. Can the villagers, led by the Squire Middleton (Mark Gatiss) and Reverend Fallowfield (Reece Shearsmith), prevent the devil gaining human form?

This digital audio exclusive stars Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith, alongside the original film's Angel Blake, Linda Hayden. Gatiss and Shearsmith are both huge fans of the original film, even recording a commentary for the DVD release.

An Audible Original drama adapted from the original screenplay by horror writer Mark Morris, Blood on Satan's Claw stars Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Doctor Who, The League of Gentlemen), Reece Shearsmith (The League of Gentlemen), Alice Lowe (Sightseers, Prevenge), John Heffernan (Ripper Street, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell), Ralph Ineson (The Witch, The Office), Thomas Turgoose (This Is England), Rebecca Ryan (Shameless) and Philip Hill-Pearson (Good Cop).

Ce que les critiques en disent

"What marks out Blood On Satan’s Claw as a truly credible piece of audio drama is the atmospheric yet unintrusive score by Edwin Sykes and the evocative sound design by Simon Robinson, which transplants you straight into this bucolic, sinister environment from the first crowing of birds as they wheel in the evening sky as something inhuman is unearthed by the farmer’s plough." ( We Are Cult)
"The story is a rare example of diving headlong into the action done right. It spends little time establishing the status quo prior to its disruption, but instead gives a general impression of what it might have been prior to the supernatural horrors which stalk the land. While in many cases this could have been abrupt, the audio drama uses a strong cast and a building sense of dread to hook the listener very early on ... The excellent sound design and voice acting is really what helps to convey the story’s atmospheric strength, and the script knows when to let them take the heavy lifting when it comes to drama. Between this and the excellent sound effects, it manages to outshine its source material in moments of true terror ... It’s easily one of the best adaptations Audible Studios have made to date, and a must-buy for any fan of quintessentially English horror." ( Starburst)
"If you're a fan of classic horror, then The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith have a treat in store for you." ( Digital Spy)
“Heartily recommended for a long cold winter’s night. 9/10” (Paul Simpson, SFB)

Two Thumbs Up

A very enjoyable British performance. A well-acted period piece with all the right ingredients to bring a great drama to life.

A faithful retelling of a Folk Horror Classic

The Blood on Satan's Claw, when it was first released in 1971, was not a smash hit, and lived in relative obscurity until 2010, when Mark Gatiss gave it a glowing and loving segment in his BBC series A History of Horror. Fitting then, that he, and one of his League of Gentlemen alum, should star in an audio remake of the now Cult Classic Folk Horror film.
The acting, sound design, and score in this audio drama are phenomenal. It transports you to the 18th Century English Countryside with ease, and expertly lays on the unease and terror. I was very excited to see that this was something that was not only made, but seemingly had enough demand to justify it's creation. If you are a fan of Folk Horror, superb audio production, and nuanced, thoughtful, and powerful vocal performances, this is the adaptation for you. I sincerely hope this crew gets together again to do another adaptation, or wholly original audio work.

A ridiculous story. Don’t bother.

The reading was well done and I am sorry they didn’t have anything interesting to read. Demon possession horror with no plot, no character development, no hero. Boring, predictable and lots of annoying screaming.
