This is a decent creepy flick I had been trying to track down over the years, and it's finally out on DVD in the States. The good news is that it is a gradually-disturbing flick about a reporter in a small town in England trying to solve a serious of messy 'attacks' on local churches involving bloody messages and 'offerings'. Somewhat similar to THE WICKER MAN (the original classic), this poor guy is gradually heading for the heart of an elaborate secret, which may or may not be his own deathtrap. Acting and the script are good, and you'll sink into the mood of this movie like a bog. There's some great suspense in watching to see if this poor bloke has a chance of leaving town before 'IT' happens.

Is this Rawhead as in Rawhead Rex?

The moment I saw your user name, my mind when straight to this film. I loved it, though I don't think I've seen it since the 80's. I have a copy somewhere.

Clive Barker has spoken about a remake for this.

Yes, Rawhead Rex...

It's been a while since I saw it too. Very low budget and shot in Ireland if I remember correctly.

Not surprised that Clive Barker wants to do a remake.
