Darklands The Obscure British Horror That Haunted My Childhood Starring craig fairbrass (cliffhanger) and jon finch (frenzy), darklands tells the story of a newspaper reporter lured into a conspiracy of pagan rituals and human sacrifice whilst investigating the death of a steelworker. As a film, darklands is far from perfect. however, by engaging with questions of welsh identity, recreating and innovating around aspects of the folk horror tradition, and drawing attention to the contradictions and problems of pagan and celtic identities, the film shows its value. It would be easy to see darklands as a welsh, sweary version of the wicker man, because… erm, that's exactly what it is. darklands is set in a welsh industrial town rife with nationalistic fervour due to the high unemployment levels and the general drabness of the area. Official synopsis: darklands tells the story of a newspaper reporter lured into a conspiracy of pagan rituals and human sacrifice whilst investigating the death of a steelworker.

Official synopsis: darklands tells the story of a newspaper reporter lured into a conspiracy of pagan rituals and human sacrifice whilst investigating the death of a steelworker. Darklands is essentially the wicker man meets rosemary’s baby set in port talbot, with a goth folk punk industrial metal aesthetic that reminded me very strongly of the cannibal cult in doomsday (2008), and i watched it mainly because the anti welsh nationalism discourse was really interesting. Darklands follows journalist frazer truick as he investigates the mysterious death of the brother of trainee journalist rachel morris. delving deeper, truick becomes convinced that the tragedy was murder, committed by a bizarre religious cult. Darklands liberally steals the patrick troughton bonkers priest concept from richard donner’s classic the omen, and wastes no time introducing him to the story troubling our hero on the morning of his birthday. Starring craig fairbrass (cliffhanger) and jon finch (frenzy), darklands tells the story of a newspaper reporter investigating the death of a steelworker who has become the victim of a fanatical pagan cult.
