Crone Wood (2016)

Crone 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.

“A new couple, they just met the night before in a bar, now frolic on the Irish coast, running in the surf, popping into a fast foodish looking joint for breakies, they decide to go camping. 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. Come to find they have encountered a green man cult. I liked this but it stopped short. I often marvel at the lack of investment in the depiction of these rituals. 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. Most of the stuff that happened in the cronery was pretty good. I just want a little more meat in the cultish things. So, me personally, I donu0026#39;t know if I could give this as high as a 6/10”
