A small city in England celebrates the Harvest Competition yearly, electing a Harvest Angel who helps throw out the evil spirit, Gallowgog. However when Rebecca Holland’s (Tuppence Middleton) daughter disappears after the pageant, she finds herself in over her head, combating in opposition to the townspeople and supernatural forces that maintain sway over this village.
Directed by William Brent Bell (The Boy, Orphan: First Kill), Lord of Misrule seems to be an anti-populist treatise wrapped up in folkloric horror and rural terror. With outsiders looking for out the reality a couple of small city, and locals like Jocelyn Abney (Ralph Ineson) defending the secrets and techniques and rituals of the agricultural enclave, the movie seems harking back to current movies in the folk-horror tradition like The Witch and Midsommar.
Lord of Misrule might be accessible in theaters and on digital December 8.
