You can't understand the ways of the country. Satan lurks in the fields and the forests are full of deviants. This week, we explore the lesser-known middle entry of the "Unholy Trinity" of British folk horror, The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971), and pack our bags for the rural rape revenge flick Even Lambs Have Teeth (Canada & France, 2015). Also, "Swissploitation" hits VOD and how many timelines do you really need in a movie?
