A film by Rupert Russell

“Russell’s The Last Sacrifice is
destined to become a classic”

Dangerous Minds ★★★★★

“A brilliantly executed deep dive into the shocking murder that went on to inspire a brand-new horror genre.”

Hey U Guys ★★★★

THE LAST SACRIFICE delves into the real-life 1945 witchcraft killing of Charles Walton - the terrifying event that inspired THE WICKER MAN and birthed the folk horror genre.
This unsettling true-crime interrogation probes into the eerie, enigmatic cultural undercurrents that shaped 1970's folk horror genre, leaving an indelible mark on cinema and public psyche.
