Woodlands Dark And Days Bewitched - A History Of Folk Horror 2021 Written and directed by Kier-La Janisse. A documentary on folk horror films. Severn put out the film as a separate release and packaged it in a box called All The Hunts Be Ours with 19 folk horror films in December 2021. I'd recommend getting the film or the box set when there's a sale on, the box is normally $170, on sale it was $125. That's still pricey but it's packed with plenty of extras, over 15 hours worth.
I finally picked up the set, on sale, and watched the documentary. It's long, 191 mins, but entertaining, at least to this film fan. The movie interviews around 50 film makers and people who write about film. The movie looks at over 200 films, TV plays and episodes. I've seen quite a good number of the films mentioned but there are way more I haven't seen. I'll get a chance to see 19 more of them with the box set. Some films get their own disc but most have to share with a pal. I'd only seen one movie of the lot, Viy, but had no physical release of that.
