'THE BEAST MUST DIE' INDICATOR BLU RAY High Definition REMASTER: Calvin Lockhart (A Dandy in Aspic) and Marlene Clark (Ganja & Hess) have invited a disparate group of guests, including Peter Cushing (Corruption), Michael Gambon (The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover) and Charles Gray (The Legacy),
to their mansion in the English countryside. He believes one of them is
a werewolf… and, before the weekend is out, he’ll find out who it is!
The last of Amicus’ famed horror productions, 'The Beast Must Die' combines the country-house whodunnit with the werewolf shocker and adds a dash of blaxploitation for good measure.
