- 80EmpireKim NewmanEmpireKim NewmanA good-looking and entertaining British horror film.
- 80The TelegraphThe TelegraphFinally, a scary fillum that you genuinely, genuinely should watch. It's part werewolf, part Agatha Christie, part blaxploitation. [31 Oct 2013]
- 75The Seattle TimesThe Seattle TimesThis 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]
- 50Slant MagazineJeremiah KippSlant MagazineJeremiah KippWhen The Beast Must Die is ripping off The Most Dangerous Game, it’s an amusing, if minor, genre offering.
- 40Time OutTime OutThe 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.
- 20TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineA rather sorry excuse for a horror film--even Peter Cushing's distinguished presence doesn't help.
