23KCrone Wood: Directed by Mark Sheridan. With Ed Murphy, Elva Trill, Geraldine McAlinden, Sarah Jane Seymour. A young couple who just met decides to go camping after a wonderful first encounter, a decision they will soon regret.

They shop for supplies, set up camp and investigate the local witchery lore, all the while laughing, kissing and all the attendant new-couple reveals. In the night their camp gets stolen.

There should have been more than just the one melody for us to experience. The chants were a huge snooze, as were the dress and mutilations.
