If you’re a Beatles fan like me, the title of the movie All You Need Is Death might remind you of their song “All You Need Is Love.” But this movie takes us on a wild ride, exploring a big question: Are love and death interchangeable? Is loving someone all about taking everything from them until their last breath? It sounds intense, doesn’t it? Well, for some people, maybe it is. Love can be a powerful force, and sometimes, it can lead to obsession or even betrayal. There’s an old Irish ballad that warns us about this, saying that love and betrayal can curse you and haunt you till the end of your days. Now, let me tell you about All You Need Is Death movie! It’s centered around Anna and Aleks, two young people who stumble upon some ancient folk songs that have never been discovered before,...

Music is one of the most mysterious natural phenomena of our world and in Irish folk horror All You Need Is Death, music becomes an ancestral force of doom and destruction. Written, directed, and produced by Paul Duane this chilling slow-burn dives headfirst into a hallucinatory world that peels back reality and opens the doors of perception to plane where entities and energies older than mankind thrive and feed on the very fabric of our being.
The importance of music, specifically Irish folk song, is immediately established. Anna (Simone Collins) and Aleks (Charlie Maher) travel the country, interviewing and secretly recording rare Irish folk ballads. The people they meet with are incredibly protective of these songs, and it’s as clear as day to everyone that Anna and Aleks have ulterior motives in acquiring these snippets of their culture. Like headhunting protected animals, Anna and Aleks are specifically seeking out...

Folk horror is often associated with a particular location, or perhaps a physical object that can be held in hands, something concretely tangible. But, especially in an age when the folkiness of this horror, the true human darkness from which they derive, finds itself in smaller crumbs and scattered in forgotten corners of our modern world, we might forget that folk also comes with words, or music - that we can be transported between generations in the mind and voice, in ways that cannot be owned. At least, until the intervention of modern technology, and that transference can bring the ire of demons. This type of storytelling, remembrance, and its theft, is at the heart of Irish film All You Need Is Death. Writer and...

Everyone wants to be loved, but there is a fine line between a healthy, loving relationship and an unhealthy, compulsive kind of love. Some of the most beautiful, and terrifying, love stories belong to ancient Irish mythology. For instance, the tale of Clíodhna and Ciabhan tells the story of Clíodhna, Queen of the Banshees and member of a supernatural race of God-like beings, who made the mistake of falling in love with a mortal from Ireland named Ciabhan. Their forbidden romance angered the other gods, causing the God of the Sea to punish the lovers by playing an enchanting song, which hypnotized Clíodhna. Entranced, Clíodhna fell asleep and was swept away by the ocean, never to be with Ciabhan.

Back in 1967, The Beatles told us, “All You Need Is Love.” Back in 2004, writer Hiroshi Sakurazaka brought the world a novel called All You Need Is Kill, which served as the basis for the 2014 Tom Cruise sci-fi adventure Edge of Tomorrow… and I could understand why the title was changed for the movie, as All You Need Is Kill never sounded quite right to me. A better version would be All You Need Is Death – and that’s the title the makers of an upcoming folk horror movie have decided to use for their film, which is set to receive a VOD and limited theatrical release on April 11th. With that release date just a couple weeks away, a trailer for All You Need Is Death has arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above.

The luck of the Irish is veering into unhinged territory thanks to Irish folklore-based horror film, “All You Need Is Death.”
The indie feature filmmaking debut from Dublin-based director Paul Duane, the film centers on a young couple (Simone Collins and Charlie Maher) who are part of a mysterious, secret organization. The duo believe that modern alchemy is contained in old, forgotten songs. When they find an elderly, mysterious woman (Olwen Fouéré) who sings songs that have never been heard before, recording it opens the door to an ancient evil and madness.
The film had its World Premiere at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles, followed by an Irish Premiere at Cork International Film Festival.
Director Duane told Film in Dublin that he was inspired by “spooky” childhood fairytales and the “weirdness of Irish ballads” to pen the original horror movie.

A young couple records and collects folk songs in rural Ireland, selling them to a mysterious, rich buyer. When rumours of a song never-before-heard reach the couple, they find themselves in an uneasy alliance with a music professor to discover an ancient song, a taboo ballad that may end up unlocking some dark truth from the forgotten past that will alter all their isolated lives.
Folk-horror is a term that sends shivers down my spine. And with good reason, it’s often used as a catch-all for stories that are more atmosphere than plot (by the same token I think “found footage” is often little more than an excuse for bad camerawork). And that’s certainly the case with this film – a music-centric terror tale, All You Need is Death is...

If everything in the universe can ultimately be reduced to mathematics, to numbers and equations, then the process of taking those numbers and forming them into new sequences, constructing new possibilities, is found in its purest form in music. Existing at the interface of the possible and the predicted, music can be used to encode all sorts of ideas, and once it gets into our heads, it can be very hard to get out. Paul Duane’s All You Need Is Death (try saying that without getting a tune in your head) marries this idea with folk horror to impressively unsettling effect.
Screening as part of the popular Frightfest strand at the 2024 Glasgow Film Festival, the film follows young couple Anna (Simone Collins) and Aleks (Charlie Maher) as they travel around Ireland in search of old folk songs which might not yet have been captured for posterity. This isn’t.
