A campy werewolf murder mystery cut from the cloth of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None," 1972's The Beast Must Die mashes up blaxploitation and horror courtesy of Amicus Productions. Richard selected this movie for our Spit Roast arc and defends its virtues while acknowledging its awkward pacing, unnecessary scenes, and infamous "werewolf break." The casting of classic British actors like Peter Cushing and Michael Gambon strengthen the film, as does the standout performance of Calvin Lockhart in the leading role, but they can only do so much in a mess of a movie.
