I found a VHS copy of this at a thrift store when I was a teen and was absolutely floored. By far one of the best cult-classic horror films.
Old school horror. Wasn't expecting the musical aspects, but I think it works.
Contrasting Christian and pagan worldviews, the movie is a classic mystery as an outsider comes to town. Refreshing British folk soundtrack.
Watching it I kept thinking gosh this guy is judgy and has some misunderstandings of neopaganism. Not sure it’s really a horror though.
I wasn’t expecting a folk musical. Nice!
Fantastic horror/semi-musical about a policeman investigating the disappearance of a young girl on a pagan cult’s island, suitably creepy
Not what I was expecting, which in the horror genre is about as good a compliment as one can give. Slow burn culminating in epic climax.
A quietly haunting horror film that nicely builds in tension, which set the standard for the Folk Horror genre for years to come.
This movie is what the universe must feel like when it notices we’re all fighting each other over 2 sides to the same invisible coin.
A great horror movie about cults, Christianity and Paganism, followed by a good plot twist and a great acting by Christopher Lee. A classic
