synopsis

Veteran British chiller writer John Bowen penned this legendarily horrific episode of the BBC's 'Play For Today' series which is now considered a precursor to The Wicker Man. Norah Palmer (Anna Cropper) moves to a quiet village in England after a break-up. The locals are warm enough at first and before long she is pregnant from a relationship with a local lad. But the sinister intentions of the locals are gradually revealed. Is Norah paranoid or is she the center of a wicked pagan plot of indescribable horror for her and her unborn child?
