Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched erforscht das Phänomen Folk-Horror von seinen Anfängen in einem filmischen Dreigespann – Michael Reeves’ Der Hexenjäger (1968), Piers Haggards In den Krallen des Hexenjägers (1971) und Robin Hardys The Wicker Man (1973) – über seine Verbreitung in den 1970er-Jahren im britischen Fernsehen und seine kulturspezifischen Erscheinungsformen bis zum Revival im vergangenen Jahrzehnt. Anhand von mehr als 200 Filmen und über 50 Interviews behandelt diese Doku die zahlreichen Möglichkeiten, wie auf der Suche nach spiritueller Resonanz in unserer Umgebung unsere eigene Geschichte abwechselnd zelebriert, kaschiert und manipuliert werden kann.
