All The Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium Of Folk Horror Volume 2

It was the 2021 centerpiece documentary Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror that launched many into discovering folk horror and even more into Severin Film’s landmark boxset All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror. It was as if an entire subgenre lay dormant, awaiting resurrection. The celebrated boutique label has returned with another massive collection of folk horror. Ranging from the intimate to the bizarre, these films provide something for everyone. I’ll dispense it all through a brief run-through of the titles organized by the disc numbers in the box set. 

Disc One starts with the films To Fire You Come At Last and Psychomania. To Fire You Come At Last is a Severin Films production from director Sean Hogan (The Devil’s Business) about a group of men tasked with transporting a coffin. Set in 17th-century England, the feature is an atmospheric ghost tale shot in beautiful black and white. It is a lovely piece of filmmaking that takes you on a real journey with the characters. Cult film fans will no doubt be familiar with Psychomania’s biker gang imagery, complete with skull-adorned motorcycle helmets. This British feature from 1979 follows a group of friends who discover a secret to life after death. Led by charismatic Tom (Nick Henson, Witchfinder General) the friends find themselves in a moral quandary, cheating death itself. It's a fantastic watch without violence or heavy mythological elements. 

Disc Two is a duet of rare features with The Enchanted and Who Fears the Devil. The Enchanted is an eerie Southern folklore thriller set in Florida. This slow-burn 1984 feature follows Royce (Will Sennett), who encounters supernatural forces while rebuilding his family farm. It’s all atmosphere and unsettling vibes that make this feature a must-see. Who Fears the Devil is your classic Appalachian folk tale of a man making deals with the Devil. A drive-in rarity, the film is a tad hokey but utilizes horror mythology in big doses, along with a claymation monster. *chef’s kiss* 

Disc Three offers The White Reindeer and Edge of the Knife. The White Reindeer is a 1952 Finnish feature about a woman named Pita who suffers a shapeshifting curse all in the name of love. It’s a love story filled with sexual anxiety, gender politics, and paganism layered subtly within the confines of this beautiful feature. Edge of the Knife, from 2018, is set on the 19th-century island of Haida Gwaii and is filmed in the island’s native language, Haida. This feature is an arresting document of saving a language while telling one of its cultural folklore tales. It’s a unique and interesting effort with gorgeous photography. 

Disc Four reveals the insane 80’s dark fantasy classic Born of Fire. This bizarre British film stunned audiences in the 80s with its religious imagery, body horror, and Islamic folklore. When solar activity begins affecting a spot on Earth, an astronomer shares her findings with distressed musician Paul (Peter Firth, Lifeforce), whose nightmares unlock his vision quest to find The Master Musician (Oh-Tee). The two travel to Turkey hoping to solve the mystery of Paul’s past. Alejandro Jodorowsky would stamp his seal of approval on this one. 

Disc Five brings us IO Island and Scales. Director Kim Ki-Young (The Housemaid) utilizes heavy flashbacks in his mystery thriller IO Island from 1977. Set around a mythical island where the souls of dead seamen live, the film is an exercise in tension and subdued horror. Scales offers another sea-bound tale from Saudi Arabia. This 2019 movie centers around a ritual gone awry and the outcast child it produced. It deals heavily with the power of generational scarring and female empowerment in Saudi culture. It is an interesting and sober feature that is well worth your time. 

Disc Six tells two ancient folktales with Bakeneko: A Vengeful Spirit and Nang Nak. Yoshihiro Ishikawa's 1968 Japanese film is one of many variations on the Bakeneko story or “cat ghost tale.” Here, a woman commits suicide with her cat to be brought back as a feline instrument of vengeance. Blood spurts, beheadings, and all manner of gruesome visuals boost this film’s already spectacular imagery. The 1999 Thai film Nang Nak also deals with a similar ghost tale. Here, a rural soldier returns home to his family only to learn they died in his absence.  Reality is questioned as the ghosts become unstable in his presence. A massive hit in Thailand that should be on everyone’s watchlist. 

Disc Seven introduces us to Indonesian horror with a stellar documentary, Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic, and the penultimate Suzanna film, Sundelbolong. Interviews and archival clips fill the documentary, bathing us in the delights of the icon of Indonesian horror, Suzanna. Sundelbolong is a 1981 feature in which Suzanna plays a reformed hooker who dies during childbirth after being raped. Her husband finds a new woman who looks surprisingly similar to Suzanna. All the while, the rapists begin suffering horrific deaths. It mixes eerie suspense, outlandish violence, and ghostly revenge. 

Disc Eight sees two features from Czech director Juraj Herz. Beauty and the Beast from 1978 is a grim and bold retelling of the classic fairy tale. Brimming with gothic atmospherics and a score by celebrated composer Petr Hapka, it offers a refreshing take on the opulent versions of the story. The following year, Herz would release The Ninth Heart, another grim fairy tale. Here, a young man named Martin (Ondrej Pavelka, Horror Story) volunteers to help an ailing Princess under the spell of an evil magician. With artistic flourishes and visual effects from Jan Svankmajer, the film is a dreamy, dark fantasy. 

Disc Nine deals with the horrors of marriage with 2015’s Demon and 2017’s November. Marcin Wrona’s Demon is a chilling possession story based on the Jewish folk story of the Dybbuk. When a family farm is given as a wedding present, distressing discoveries are made once the soil has been tilled up. There are some cliched horror ideas here, but overall, it is an excellent feature filled with suspense. Rainer Sarnet’s November is a bizarre yet satisfying feature from Estonia about an arranged marriage gone south. Liina (Rea Lest, Dark Paradise) is a werewolf whose village is populated by mechanical automatons sent by the Devil to collect blood. She makes a deal with a witch for a magical arrow to kill her, a woman who is the object of her love’s affection.  While not everything works in November, this is an exciting and original film. 

Disc Ten presents two stunning films Litan and Blood Tea and Red String. Jean-Pierre Mocky’s 1982 oddity Litan sees a distressed woman named Nora summoned to a village where an unusual festival is taking place. Deep surrealistic vibes here are couched in folk horror trappings, which render the whole production reminiscent of The Wicker Man. Christiane Cegavske's 2006 stop-motion animation film Blood Tea And Red String is a haunting tale of greed and social hierarchy played out with stunning realism. This dark fairy tale is about a group of mice who are gifted a unique item and cannot deal with the consequences of their desires. 

Disc Eleven presents two Spanish language features, 1975’s Nazareno Cruz and the Wolf and 1984’s Akelarre. More mythical folklore than horror, Nazareno is based on an Argentinean legend that says the seventh son in a family will become a wolf when he turns 18.  A dreamy, low-key plot is highlighted with religious morality and romantic conflicts. Akelarre sees a 17th-century Spanish witch hunt to capture a woman named Garazi De Ochoa (Sílvia Munt, Butterfly Wings), who is fighting to clear her grandmother’s name as well as her own. Shot in the exact locations where witch persecutions were sentenced, the film is a tense tale that examines the tactics of the Roman Catholic Church. 

Disc Twelve gives us a Welsh feature titled From the Old Earth from 1981. While running a mere 46 minutes, this film produced by the Welsh Film Board is a creepy and unsettling short feature that will get under your skin immediately. When a man digs up a mysterious object in his garden, he takes it to an archeologist for inspection. Soon, a monstrous entity terrorizes Williams’ home. Fans of eerie 70’s British mystery TV shows and films will dig the comforting aura of the Welsh setting. 

At long last, we’ve got lucky Disc Thirteen, which provides a solid Christopher Lee flick in The City of the Dead and a Filipino ghost story in The Rites of May. Nan Barlow (Venetia Stevenson) is an ambitious college student studying witchcraft in 1960’s The City of the Dead. She visits a village and uncovers a deadly secret that shouldn’t have been revealed. This Hammer-adjacent horror flick gets a boost as it stars Christopher Lee as the witchcraft professor. A classic of atmospheric British horror! Closing out the collection is The Rites of May, a 1976 film directed by Mike de Leon. In the director’s debut feature, we see a photographer seek out religious imagery for an assignment only to be caught in a relationship with a possessed woman. Rife with Filipino culture and Catholic symbolism, de Leon’s film is an unsettling ghost tale about the power of the dead. 

All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror Vol. 2 offers a compelling and rich variety of folk horror titles. Spread across 13 discs, this is a massive undertaking for not only Severn Films but also audiences. Released separately, these titles would fare well, but the scope of this collection provides a massive journey for viewers. This is the power of physical media. Holding this box in my hands, I’m made aware that we’re meant to discover tangible meaning in our lives while holding onto the mystical and magical elements that carry us along. I hope that someday, these stories, as well as our own, will carry on their legacy in future generations' hearts, minds, and hands. 

Vital Disc Stats: The Blu-ray
Severin Films delivers the 13 discs of All The Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium Of Folk Horror Vol. 2 in a sturdy box set adorned with eye-catching artwork highlighted with striking gold-colored elements. The discs are housed in a book with slip pages for each disc. All discs are Region A/B/C except for Disc Six, which is only Region A. Each page spread is covered with artwork listing each film’s special features. These cardboard pages are thin enough to permit easy access to the discs yet rigid enough to support a confident housing. Also included in the box set is a 24-page booklet covering each film in the set and a 252-page hardcover book containing newly commissioned folk horror fiction. The feature film discs open to a title-select menu before offering a main menu with its title-specific features. 

Image quality is surprisingly solid across the 24 feature films in All The Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium Of Folk Horror Vol. 2. I was elated to see such a high bar set for various source materials. Notably, for a handful of these films, their sheer inclusion in this set warrants an excellent rating for their image presentation. Saving these films from obscurity and even dedicating time to their preservation deserves high marks from me, regardless of analysis. My brief notes for each feature are below.  

To Fire You Come At Last is presented in 1.9.1 with an HD transfer taken from a 2k digital master. Strong contrast with great fine detail. Inky black levels.

Sundelbolong is presented in 2.35:1 with an HD transfer taken from an HD master. Heavy DNR removes fine detail, rendering a waxy aesthetic. Colors take a hit but still register nicely. 

Suzzana: The Queen Of Black Magic is presented in 1.78:1 from an HD digital master created by Severin Films. A solid 1080p transfer with archival footage varying in quality. The interviews look fantastic, with fine detail and strong primaries.

Blood Tea And Red String is presented in 1.33:1 with an HD transfer from a 2K scan of the original 16mm negative. Details pop along with primaries, giving this grainy stop-motion feature an excellent presentation. 

Nazareno Cruz And The Wolf is presented in 1.78.1 with an HD transfer taken from the only known existing print. A serviceable image marred by source limitations but helped with a DNR pass filter. Colors and detail take a hit, but it is a solid presentation for a rare find. 

Akelarre is presented in 1.66:1 with an HD transfer from a 4k scan of the original camera negative. A strong image with solid depth and appreciable skin tones. Colors are warm and lifelike.

The City Of The Dead is presented in 1.66.1 with an HD presentation taken from a 2k scan of the original camera negative. Contrast and detail are excellent, though some DNR use affects skin tones. This proper aspect ratio will surely please fans of the film. 

The Rites Of May is presented in 1.66.1 with an HD transfer taken from a 4k scan of the original camera negative. Bold primaries and solid black levels complement strong detail and depth. It is an impressive presentation, for sure. 

Like the video transfers, we are given the best possible audio tracks for the 24 films. As expected, the rare gems of the set contain passable tracks with noticeable source irregularities. Nazareno Cruz and the Wolf suffers the most from its source elements but still provides a serviceable experience. Most films are paired with a DTS HD-MA Mono track in their native language, though some modern mixes also occur. Edge of the Knife, Nang Nak, Demon, and November have 5.1 surround mixes as well. English subtitles are available for all features in the box set.
