A Field in England is considered a seminal work of folk horror and one of the most important British films of the past 50 years. A hallucinogenic foray into British history set during the 17th century English civil war, it's band of characters flee one battle only to encounter more violence and mystery in their pursuit.

In the Earth is a covid-era horror masterpiece, delving into the depths our relation to nature and solitude. A researcher goes in search of his former colleague and partner, long lost on an expedition in the wild while looking for a cure for a deadly pandemic.
