A feature-length true crime documentary exploring Britain’s last 'ritual murder,' told through a satirical lens that blends black comedy and horror. Currently on the festival circuit and ‘destined to become a classic’ - Dangerous Minds.★★★★★ ”In this tangled tapestry, Russell has captured the soul of a nation." - EYE FOR FILM★★★★★ “Destined to become a classic.” - DANGEROUS MINDS★★★★★ “A spellbinding experience that delves into the old religions, rituals, murder and the birth of the folk horror genre.” - HORROR CULT FILM
★★★★★ “Russell’s film not only gives viewers a crash course in mid-1900s British history and culture, folk horror, and witchcraft, but it also provides a guide to understanding how and why people either isolate themselves or align themselves with others.” - MORBIDLY BEAUTIFUL★★★★1/2 “The missing link in folk horror and one of the best horror documentaries in years. It’s about the true-crime case that captivated British pop-culture giving rise to the novel that was adapted into THE WICKER MAN. Essential for understanding its true meaning.” - HORROR LOSERS
★★★★1/2 “The Last Sacrifice expertly intertwines a history of folk horror in British pop culture, the true crime tale of Charles Walton’s murder, and witchcraft’s religious evolution across the United Kingdom in the mid-twentieth century while simultaneously bringing up important discussions about how all this reflects a part of British identity that might not always be easy for British people to look directly in the eye.” - FATHER SON HOLY GORE★★★★1/2 “The Last Sacrifice is a fantastic exploration of the history of English witchcraft” - WHAT A SCREAM★★★★1/2 “Engaging and fascinating” - BLUE PRINT REVIEW★★★★ “It's a fascinating account of British history, shining a spotlight on areas that are often forgotten when we talk about folk horror … Finishing on one of the most unexpected testimonies ever seen in horror history, it makes for one of the more left-field epilogues ever seen in either horror film or documentary” - HORROR DNA★★★★ “Genuinely wild” - DREAD CENTRAL★★★★ “Ingenious... The Last Sacrifice not only has plenty to say about the birth of folk horror movies but also perfectly captures what a weird and wonderful place our little island is." - LOVE HORROR★★★★ “A brilliantly executed deep dive into the shocking murder that went on to inspire a brand-new horror genre.” - HEY U GUYS
★★★★ “This fascinating documentary takes a look at what was going on during that period and more specifically at the mysterious murder of one Charles Walton.” - DARK SIDE MAGAZINE★★★★ “The Last Sacrifice is a fascinating documentary that vividly portrays the shadowy undercurrents of mid-century Britain.” - CRITICAL POPCORN★★★★ “The Last Sacrifice is an endlessly fascinating insight into horror history and its links to Britain’s own occult underbelly.” - THE UP AND COMING★★★★ “You’ll bare witness to the greatest epilogue of all time” - BRIG NEWS★★★★ “Chilling and entertaining” - STARBURST MAGAZINE
