Twin Picks: THE WICKER MAN x THE EMPTY MAN

Sacrifices must be made :) In their latest attempt to recruit u to the cult of creepy cinema, Eliza and Noah check out two movies about scary sects and frightening folklore: 1973's mould-breaking, delightful The Wicker Man, and underseen 2020 thriller The Empty Man.One film is hugely acclaimed (being one of Eliza's absolute fave films of all time!) while the other got dumped into an unwelcoming COVID-era release window. Both are fascinating, freaky yarns about the pleasures and terrors of conformity, with some uniquely unforgettable scenes (and songs!! O the songs!!). Just listen, we promise it's not an ad for our MLM or anythin.Triplet In The Attic: Woodlands Dark & Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror, 2021, dir. Janisse / Dead and Buried, 1981, dir.
