A slow-burn folk horror tale is wrapped in the cold reality of a child killer and their connection to a seemingly haunted moor in Chris Cronin’s The Moor.
Now, 25 years later, Claire is approached by Danny’s father, Bill , hoping to find Danny’s body. Why now? Well, the killer is about to get out of prison, and all things point to the missing being somewhere on the moors. If they can find Danny, they can put his killer back in prison. The Moor’s moor is an open, expansive place, but unseen drops and dangerous peat bogs hide very real dangers. Often, there’s talk of restrictions on searching there. A guide is required, and planning how and when to be out there is incredibly necessary. In the light of day, it’s a place of breathtaking beauty, but as darkness and bad weather creep in, it’s as volatile as any cursed woodland.That naturally unnerving aspect of the moor is suitably backed by a splash of folk horror.
The rest of the cast pitch in with complementary roles. The late Bernard Hill is used sparingly, but his former detective really sells the horrors of the unnamed and unseen killer in his recounting of the Summer of Fear. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Dormer-Phillips’s gifted young woman acts as the connective tissue between the grim reality and the supernatural.The killer’s omnipresence is felt throughout.
