Films like the original Wicker Man, Midsommar. Witch, Apostle, The Ritual. These films explore the idea that in places of the world the old ways connected to the land and the past may still exist. This has been a genre that’s always had a steady following in the U.K., as for centuries god fearing folk have found relics in the hills or ploughed up in fields of a time before Christianisation, we were something else. Not necessarily evil but different, and for much longer than the way things are now.
And as I grew up in a part of the world peppered with hill forts, stone circles and burial mounds, it’s always been easy to let my imagination drift.
