    POWERHOUSE FILMS RELEASING TWO AMICUS FILMS

    Peter 'Witchfinder' HopkinsBy Peter 'Witchfinder' Hopkins16th June 2020No Comments4 Mins Read

    Powerhouse Films will be releasing two Amicus films to their Indicator series label. THE BEAST MUST DIE and I, MONSTER are scheduled to come out in the next few months. More details on each release can be found below.

     

    THE BEAST MUST DIE

     

    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.

     

    Synopsis:

    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!
