Having viewed "The Blood Beast Terror" I find that it is very enjoyable despite not being up to the standard of most Hammer films. One wishes the woman/moth creature was more fully developed. After viewing a restored HD version of the film I find it to be more interesting with repeated viewings. The acting is very good, especially the character acting of the Sargeant, the old coach driver who was terrified of the attack and the mortician proves to be a well-developed character. Vanessa Howard is very pleasing as the daughter of Peter Cushing who falls under the hypnotic spell of the entymologist. The ambience of the old hotel, the old house and river fishing sequence are refreshing and the sequence with the boy chasing butterflies grows more comical with each viewing. If you haven't seen it but once, try watching it again on a dark evening and see if you don't appreciate it more.
