This made-for-TV film shares the Icelandic lore of the Tilbury, a creature who could be summoned by women in times of financial hardship and starvation. But the gifts of the Tilbury come with their own brand of destruction. Set in 1940, during the British occupation, a country boy discovers his childhood sweetheart is having an affair with a British soldier but suspects it could be one of the evil creatures.
Woodland Haunts: A Folk Horror Overview is presented with the generous support of IATSE 856.
