The Last Sacrifice
A folk-horror documentary exploring the origins of Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man (1973), which mirror the deeply rooted identity crisis of Britain’s history and the influence of an era-defining genre. Did you know the real-life 1945 witchcraft killing of Charles Walton was the terrifying event that inspired the classic shocker The Wicker Man? From filmmaker Rupert Russell comes an incredible documentary looking into the dark heart of Britain and finding a country in a deep and frightening identity crisis – with an almost national descent into madness reflected in the strand of cinema it produces. A brave, new exploration, this unsettling true-crime interrogation probes into the eerie, enigmatic cultural undercurrents that shaped the 1970s folk horror genre. Screening as part of FrightFest The screening on 7 March will be followed by a Q&A with Rupert Russel (director). View all GFF25 Q&A Screenings here.
