Ancient Sorceries Revisited

Sandrine Bessancort's latest tribute and revisiting of the eerie and atmospheric fiction of Algernon Blackwood brings us a dark adaptation of "Ancient Sorceries"  heavy with brooding menace and latent eroticism Read on as an English visitor to a sleepy but weirdly atmospheric French town during the early part of the twentieth-century finds himself curiously unable to leave. All the while feeling himself somehow observed and supervised by the large and imposing landlady with whom he takes lodgings - not to mention the other women of a town that seems increasingly eerie to him. And then his landlady's feline daughter appears! Believable dark fantasy and romance combine with occult horror and demonic possession in Sandrine Bessancort's latest re-imagining of the classics of yesteryear.
