Set around a village deep in the Scottish Highlands,
Temple Wood tells the story of Martin’s odyssey into a nightmarish world of
Pagan sexual rituals and Druidic practices, whilst searching for his beloved
tutor who has mysteriously disappeared.
Combining the bizarre atmosphere of the Cult-movie
‘folk-horror’ genre with the thematic weight and experimentalism of an 'art
house' film, Temple Wood depicts a young man’s journey into his subconscious
whereby he must come to terms with an abusive childhood and his own repressed
sexuality.
Directed and written by: Ethan Race
"It’s
difficult not to appreciate Temple Wood’s audacity [...] you might just find
yourself feeling oddly affectionate towards this bizarre odyssey into madness,
darkness and folk-horror."
"Ethan Race has created a unique film that is part horror film,
part detective film, and part fantasy film [...] It’s violent, bloody,
mysterious, and ultimately captivating."
"Filmed
on location in beautiful Scottish locations, this micro-budget film is an
independent film worth seeking out and supporting [...] intriguing viewing with
scenes that amuse and sometimes disturb."
"An extremely ambitious first feature-length project for Ethan Race
[...] the horror comes not from Martin’s encounters with a primeval cult, but
by the exploration of the vistas inside his mind"
And now it’s time to enjoy this ambitious film…
