In 1945, Charles Walton was murdered in Warwickshire, England. To this day, the crime remains unsolved, although some believe it to be an act of witchcraft. An enigmatic case, and the subject of this documentary that examines both its bizarre details, its context, as well as the influence it had on The Wicker Man and the folk horror genre.

It begins with the analysis of a sordid murder that made the headlines in England, and gradually veers towards the analysis of an entire film genre: Folk Horror. Or when form meets substance. Perhaps the most singular documentary on horrific cinema seen in a long time.
