Synopsis
Lord of Misrule (2023) is William Brent Bell's folk horror, ready to watch online on iFILM. A child vanishes mid-festival in a too-perfect English village.
Rebecca (Tuppence Middleton), wife of the town's new priest, moves her family into a postcard hamlet ringed by ancient woods. During the annual harvest celebration her daughter disappears in plain sight. The locals act off — nobody seems in any hurry to search — and behind the polite faces sits an old story about something the village has long kept fed.
Bell, who made The Boy and Separation, is on home turf here: rural ritual, bonfires deep in the trees, faith turned inside out. Ralph Ineson lends his gravel-deep menace to the whole thing. It runs more on dread than gore — a slow burn for anyone who loves The Wicker Man. Stream Lord of Misrule (2023) online on iFILM.
