A good-looking and entertaining British horror film. - 80
The Telegraph
Finally, a scary fillum that you genuinely, genuinely should watch. It's part werewolf, part Agatha Christie, part blaxploitation. [31 Oct 2013] - 75
The Seattle Times
This shocker from Hammer Films rival Amicus Productions stars horror icon Peter Cushing and includes a "werewolf break" for you to guess who the monster is. Sort of like Ellery Queen, but with a really hairy back. Damned fun. [31 Oct 2006, p.E1] - 50
Slant Magazine
When The Beast Must Die is ripping off The Most Dangerous Game, it’s an amusing, if minor, genre offering. - 40
Time Out
The Amicus studio is better known for omnibus horror films like Torture Garden and Tales from the Crypt, and this flaccid feature suggests they would have done better to stick to that winning formula. - 20
TV Guide Magazine
A rather sorry excuse for a horror film--even Peter Cushing's distinguished presence doesn't help.
