What happens

Darklands is a British horror film written and directed by Julian Richards, starring Craig Fairbrass, Jon Finch, Rowena King, which was released in 1997. Richards wrote the screenplay after attending the Beltane Fire Festival in Edinburgh. It was produced by Paul Brooks at Metrodome Films. Dubbed "the Welsh Wicker Man" by the UK press, Darklands is possibly the first home grown Welsh horror film. The film forms part of the growth of the Cool Cymru era of arts and culture.
