Synopsis

In 1945, Charles Walton was murdered in Warwickshire, England. To this day, this crime remains unsolved, although some believe it was the work of witchcraft. An enigmatic true case that is now the subject of a true crime documentary, which examines both the bizarre details of the crime and its context as well as the influence it had on The Wicker Man, an emblematic film belonging to the currently in vogue sub-genre of folk horror.
