Hugo S The new vicar of a small English town embarks on a dangerous journey to find her daughter who goes missing during the local harvest festival. "Lord Of Misrule" tackles the folklore and pagan traditions of a local community rooted in old and dark beliefs. Despite a satisfying final act, the movie replicates all the clichés of the subgenre it represents. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Farah R While it’s not a Wickerman copycat, Lord of Misrule is a close imitation of the classic’s core concepts. The story plays out as expected with every puzzle piece falling into place to reach a foreseeable conclusion. Even the supposed plot twist at the end wasn’t enough to shake off how little was original. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Magic F This is not your typical story, and it does not take the expected roads. If that's what you're looking for, you'll be disappointed. It sets itself up for typical good vs evil, but that's not the only thing going on. Ultimately it goes in new directions and I love the idea that it isn't saying that pagans of old are evil, and it isn't saying that Christ drives out all evil. It's saying that beliefs are real, but people make them good or evil. That's a much more difficult message to convey in a story. This is my favorite folk horror I've seen yet, highly recommend if you're looking for a good story. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review nilufer e Hell, no. It was predictable and boring. Started not so bad but turned out to be cliched pretty quickly. The Vicar was cool but the rest was plain boring. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Jerod S Their daughter goes missing at a creepy harvest festival. Turns out the whole town sacrifices children to the town demon. Think Wickerman. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Jared C Loved it. I don’t get the hate. Not a Wicker Man copy cat. I liked that her character was a minister and it didn’t go the route of exorcist/the power of Christ compels you bs..she had to abandon god to find her child. I also loved that simply facing the demon made it go away but no one had been brave enough to do it. Also, Ralph Ineson is just a dominant presence every time. Not a perfect ending, wish the townspeople hadn’t killed the husband in horrific fashion or else it’d be more realistic to see them all smiling in church that next Sunday. But I think it was as good an ending as it could’ve possibly been outside of burning that village to the ground. 9/10 cult classic incoming Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
