The Synopsis

Water, woods, rock, and drifted stream. Storms overhead, fields of salt water, wicked moor. Lightning strokes and standing stones, ground hard as iron and oak, granite swallowing tin and slate. This documentary special feature examines Hammer Films use of Cornwall as a setting and location for its films, exploring the "new weird Britain" of contemporary Cornish folk horror with filmmakers, playwrights, and historians, and drawing on creative work from the region.
