The Blood Beast Terror

Cushing called it the worst film he ever made. He was being generous.

Peter Cushing called it the worst film he ever made, and he was being generous. A Victorian entomologist's daughter is, through a plot best not examined, a giant were-moth who drains men of blood, and the monster works only in the wide shots where you cannot see it.

It is bottom-tier British gothic, stiff and cheap, and its reputation rests almost entirely on Cushing's dismissal of it. There is a certain fascination in watching consummate professionals soldier through obvious nonsense.

For gothic completists and Cushing obsessives only.
