Description
Cover Notes: It’s rural England in the early 18th century. A deformed skull is discovered – it has an intact eye and strange fur but when that skull disappears the village, especially its children, becomes afflicted by its supernatural power. Starring Linda Hayden and Patrick Wymark, this quintessential folk horror produced by legendary British film company Tigon and directed by Piers Haggard, is a heady concoction of old-style horror and sex, served up in an unnervingly modern visual presentation. It explores and seems to unpick the dawning decade’s fears about promiscuity and the generation gap, poking fun at the moral majority’s lack of tolerance toward youth culture and non-Christian belief systems.
