Dir Daniel Kokotajlo | UK | 2023 | 98 mins | Rated 15 | English
Archaeologist Richard and his wife Juliette have moved from the city to Richard’s inherited house on the moors of Yorkshire, despite it holding for Richard traumatic memories of his abusive father. Richard becomes obsessed with local folklore and his late father’s archives, Juliette becomes fascinated by folk medicine, and their young son starts acting strangely. When tragedy strikes the family, the unhappy couple realise that they have unwittingly allowed dark and sinister forces into their home, awakening a long-dormant ancient evil rooted deep in the countryside.

REVIEWS
“This 1970s-set folk horror, unnervingly scored by Matthew Herbert, unearths something primeval and toxic at the very roots of a once, and perhaps again, happy family.” Anton Bitel, Sight & Sound
“Kokotajlo‘s impressive second feature unfolds in a vein of British folk horror that has been popular of late…” Guy Lodge, Variety
“Aiming for authenticity, Kokotajlo finds supernatural power and dramatic weight in the genre’s rustic simplicity.” Matt Schimkowitz, The A.V. Club
“… intensely emotional lead performances that takes viewers on a nostalgic journey into pagan ritual.” Hanna Flint, IGN
