The Last Sacrifice delves into the real-life 1945 witchcraft killing of Charles Walton—the terrifying event that inspired THE WICKER MAN and birthed the folk horror genre. This incredible documentary from filmmaker Rupert Russell looks deep into the heart of Britain and finds a country in deep and frightening identity crisis – with an almost national descent into madness that is reflected in the strand of cinema it produces.  

THE LAST SACRIFICE is a brave, new exploration of how events within society can become mirrors of the times they occur in – as powerfully resonant now with the times we are going through now as back then, this is a must see. This unsettling true-crime interrogation probes into the eerie, enigmatic cultural undercurrents that shaped 1970’s folk horror genre, leaving an indelible mark on cinema and public psyche. An unflinching portrayal of Britain’s profound identity crisis, both during the tumultuous early 1970s and the resurgence of folk horror today, ominously coinciding with yet another national descent into madness.
