FrightFest TV Presents: Interview with Rupert Russell, director of THE LAST SACRIFICE”
Director - Rupert Russell
Cast - Geraldine Beskin, Gavin Bone, Janet Farrar and Adam Godley.
UK, 2024, 1hr 30m.
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 of how events within society can become mirrors of the times they occur in, this unsettling true-crime interrogation probes into the eerie, enigmatic cultural undercurrents that shaped the 1970s folk horror genre.
Hosted by Alan Jones
