"Holy Terrors" unites six short stories of Welsh author Arthur Machen (1863 – 1947).
Stories of murder, unexplainable rituals, ghostly apparitions, vegetarian soldiers and nightmarish
transformations ...

Characteristic for Machen is an elegiac language. Often his stories are about the survival of ancient
myths. H. P. Lovecraft was an admirer and was influenced by him literarily.
In fantastic black-and-white pictures, "Holy Terrors" dives into the weird world Machen, completely
without dialogues, only with the voice of a narrator.

A feeling similar to that when a dark fantastic story is read out and the horrors images themselves
by the mind's eye.
An insider tip for all who appreciate unusual movies, based on fantastic literature!
