Piers Haggard directs Patrick Wymark, Linda Hayden and Michele Dotrice in this folk horror where a village is taken over with hysterical devil worship.

The original. Ceremonies deep in the woods. Diabolical seductions. Deformities. It plays like three or four Amicus anthology shorts blurred and blended together. The confusion of not having a central protagonist or much narrative focus is it feels like society is spinning out of control. Not the scariest horror flick ever made but very atmospheric.
