Am I Missing Something?

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I don't usually watch "horror", but having read previews - it indicated that this had much more substance. I'm so glad I did, it most certainly captured my attention throughout.The theme based on the protection of the environment, local folklore and the conflict between "lay people" and an obnoxious, inconsiderate property developer may have been used before, but not like this. Atmospheric elements are cleverly introduced to tantalize and maintain your interest throughout.I found the mythology and ritualism enthralling, I found myself easily relating to them, wondering how they will affect the final outcome.It has been excellently directed by Wyndham Price, it has an appropriate pace, some great ideas, a superb atmospheric feel and it easily "pulls you in".Actors: The cast have been wonderfully chosen, I found their performances captivating, everyone's contribution enhancing what can only be described as a couple of hours pleasure.I recommend you watch this, I honestly believe that this could gain cult status.

I'm not sure what the point of this movie was? Are we supposed to side with the hippie druids? If so then it failed miserably.Firstly the squatters, does anyone actually think they should have any rights? Apart from other squatters of course. Despite things later on revealed they are still trespassers and hence get no sympathy from the audience.The main posh Brit is a douche-bag, no denying that but that doesn't excuse some tree worshiping nutters killing and maiming people.It sadly paints every character as unlikable, the hippies coming off the worst.The voice of the Crow character is so annoying I was already hating the movie before anything happened. Which is another point...nothing really happens throughout the film, it is mainly just nonsense voice-overs (what a waste of talent!)The acting in itself is fine but with such irritating characters they didn't have much to work with.All in all there is nothing to like in this film and I was rooting more for the main guy, despite the film desperately trying to paint him as the bad guy.

Minor plot spoiler.Crow is the name of a Druid tribe that dates to ancient times. They are squatters at a farmhouse and on land that was recently acquired by Tucker (Nick Moran) who wants to build a dream house deep in the woods, cutting down quite a bit of forest. He also is forcing the tribe of squatters out, squatters who refuse to leave. A confrontation happens that eventually invokes the forest spirits.Tom Rhys Harries becomes the title character. Terence Stamp has a role I would expect for Christopher Lee. The film was better than my expectations. Some violence, blood, and gore. F-word. No nudity.
