Darklands (1996)
Paranoia and a palpable sense of evil all of its own.
16 December 1999 - 2 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
Darklands is very much a 'back to basics' Brit horror movie. Impressively shot in Wales it tells the story of a local journalist (Craig Fairbrass) who gradually uncovers a sinister cult within his home town, who practice ancient pagan rituals and human sacrifice. With unmistakable elements from 'Race With The Devil', 'Angel Heart', and of course 'The Wicker Man' Darklands is hardly original but director Julian Richards has delivered an atmospheric, dark and sometimes intense debut - possibly the best British horror film this decade.
