Nothing Strange out here

Amid dark forests, remote villages and enigmatic stone circles, the uncanny takes root wherever nature, tradition and superstition collide. Tormented creatures give form to buried guilt, social exclusion and a natural world that seems to be rising up against those who seek to destroy it. The films draw us into insular communities whose customs and unspoken rules prove every bit as menacing as the beings they claim to fear. By turns archaic and foreboding, absurd and steeped in black humour, these stories conjure a world in which ancient myths are suddenly, terrifyingly alive. Anyone who ventures into the woods, onto an isolated farm or through the doors of a crumbling house would be unwise to assume they are alone.
