This is a 3 hour 12 minute look at the history of folk horror and it never stops being entertaining and extremely informative.
Woodlands covers almost every folk horror film from the silent era thru the modern day. A short list of the films talked about include "The Wicker Man", "Legend Of Hillbilly John", "Blood On Satan's Claw", "Burn Witch Burn", "Robin Redbreast", "Onibaba", "Curse Of The Crying Woman" and so much more.
There are many people they talk with including actor Ian Ogilvy who starred in the classic "Witchfinder General". This was released on Blu-ray from Severin along with several different films in the folk horror genre and I never got the chance to see it until I ran across in by accident.
As I stated, this is one of the most in-depth film studies I have ever encountered and a huge congrats is due Severin for putting this all together. Folk Horror is a genre most people never think of, but it's out there in full force and many of the films discussed are available to view via disc or streaming.
All I can say is that this is REQUIRED viewing.
