"WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED explores the folk horror phenomenon from its beginnings in a trilogy of films - Michael Reeves' Witchfinder General (1968), Piers Haggard's Blood on Satan's Claw (1971) and Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man (1973) - through its proliferation on British television in the 1970s and its culturally specific manifestations in American, Asian, Australian and European horror, to the genre's revival over the last decade. Touching on over 100 films and featuring over 50 interviewees, WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED investigates the many ways that we alternately celebrate, conceal and manipulate our own histories in an attempt to find spiritual resonance in our surroundings"--From IMDb.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Must see for Horror Fans submitted by irenzero on June 10, 2022, 8:03pm This doc is a great exploration of the Folk Horror and the key films in the genre. Ideal for anyone interested in Horror, World Cinema, and the dark side of Folk tales.

A Global Experience submitted by majean on July 22, 2022, 2:37pm It was fascinating to see different country's and culture's take on folk horror. A standout for me was a Brazilian folk horror film built around German culture.
