I thought this set was going to be problematic for me as I'll outline later, so I went to what would be the most contentious features first. Colin Dickey does a fine audio commentary for 'Eyes of Fire' and being as it's Colonials vs Indians I thought that may be a problem, but Mr. Dickey stated historical facts and was very impartial. Everything said was to do with the film and no tenuous politics in there. My only criticism would be the longer version doesn't look as pretty as the shorter. And it's a beautiful looking film. I was dreading the features and commentary on 'Clearcut', but once again...all excellent. The rest of the set introduces us to Folk Horror from the four corners of the Earth including the quite incredible 'Tilbury'...a film that has to be seen to be believed. In a good way. The only fly in the Witche's ointment; the enclosed book starts off with a poem which tells me I am not part of the Folk tradition, responsible for all the ills of the World, have no connection to the Earth and quite frankly, just plain evil. Whoever made a decision to start the book with an attack on, what is possibly, the majority of Severin's customers and viewers for this set is baffling. I don't think hate speech rhetoric belongs here, no matter what race it's from, or directed to; Folk Horror is about inclusivity as every race, culture and tribe have their own and it links us all. Including mine. A poem is an excellent start to a Folk Horror book, what's wrong with the totally appropriate 'Leaves of Grass' the most famous poem in Folk Horror cinema?Read full review
