Dan Stevens stars in this thriller that was well received by critics. The film deals with the theme of strange sects, insane cults, dark forests, black magic and violence, elements that its director, Gareth Evans, includes in this tense Netflix film.
Evans moves away from Murderous Raid, a 2011 film, to bet on a story that follows the British folklore tradition of ‘When Witches Burn’ or ‘The Blood on Satan’s Claw’.
Although the film does not propose anything new, its plot is so well developed that it presented critics such as:
“It’s like a tribute to ‘The Wicker Man’ (…) with better costumes, scarier customs and a lot more blood (…) Its atmosphere is rich and hypnotic“said Peter Debruge, critic of ‘Variety’.
