Note : Actually a BBC "TV Play", a sort of theatrical play produced for television, this one is a very odd duck indeed. It's been called folk horror, although I don't think it really qualifies as horror, but it's certainly adjacent, and heavy on the folk. It's a philosophical drama about a teenager discovering his identity in various ways, while also shedding his conservative Christian outlook and becoming aware of the ancient, pagan roots of the very landscape around him, through a series of visions, daydreams and nightmares that, well. You're going to finally find out where that fucking creepypasta GIF of the wooden mask dude is from, let's put it that way. It's low-budget, talky, and earnest to the point of being goofy and naïve, and wears its early-70s well-meaning lefty politics on its sleeve, but it's also strangely hypnotic, at times quite beautiful and moving, and profoundly weird in the best kind of way.
Stephen is a vicar's son living in rural England who's adopted a traditionalist manner. He goes to church, listens to classical music, is in some sort of military school, argues against what he thinks is anti-Christian filth in the media, and rails against the local author, who Stephen suspects of being some sort of pervert, on account of him being a leftist and also having no children. Gradually, Stephen's worldview is uprooted as he discovers that he's adopted, has erotic dreams about another boy, to no surprise to his parents, who are much more liberal than him, and finally has revelations about the village he lives in and its past, the hills and landscapes around it, and Britain's past, though a series of conversations and visions of weird entities, his favorite composer, and finally, an ancient pagan king. In the meantime, something weird is going on in the fields and hills, involving the military or possibly something supernatural.
This BBC Blu-Ray release isn't great, with somewhat dull color, quite a bit of warping in splices, and somewhat fuzzy details, but it's still worth watching. The commentary track is very good if you want to know more about this and what it all means, maybe.
Hot tip

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “ hevk folk horror” for more weirdness in ancient landscapes, “ hevk british” for more stiff upper lips and comeuppances, or “ hevk 70s” for more from the decade when things often got very weird.
