Surprised at the negativity to this film. Yes it is derivative of folk horror movies such as The Wicker Man (original ofc) but it's shot beautifully and the characters are very watchable.
Having attended many folk events in rural England I think the director captures the jolly lighthearted atmosphere that begins to turn dark really well.
Some genuinely visceral horror, creepiness and death scenes.
The final 5 minutes are surprising, especially when the initial plot felt guessable.
This film is not for those who want shallow stories and silly jump scares. It's dark and it takes its time. If you like folk horror produced with genuine style I'd recommend.
