Woodlands. Dark and days bewitched a history of folk horror. 2021
7/10
Doco about a the history of 'folk horror'.
Catalogues the history and what actually inspires films that are in this genre. Starting with english films, it moves to the states then on to a few other counties throughout the decades.
It has alot of clips from alot of films, some probably not worth the watch, but usually a person linked to the film or someone with knowledge of it.
The run time is 3 hours and it does get a little overbearing. Very in depth about the style of the genre and what makes it unique and how it relates to local cultures.
Swept away. 1974. Italy.
6/10
A rich woman and a deckhand are washed up on a deserted island.
She complains about everything, including the fact he is from the south and therefore uncivilized. When they get stranded together on a island he uses this to his advantage.
Those two largely make up the bulk of the film in the middle. He goes kinda overboard in his 'revenge' but as the plot progresses the fall for each other.
Slight comedic moments with the ending taking a interesting turn in that he tries to get her to go back with him, but she ditches that idea and flies off with her husband and he is left with his wife and the kids.
