Saloum is a supernatural thriller, superhero film, Southern, and buddy movie, all in one.

Atmospheric footage of the Senegalese coast adds to the local colour of this universal story of friendship, betrayal, abuse of power, and above all revenge.

WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED explores the folk horror phenomenon from its beginnings in a trilogy of films - Michael Reeves' Witchfinder General (1968), Piers Haggard's Blood on Satan's Claw (1971) and Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man (1973) - through its proliferation on British television in the 1970s and its culturally specific manifestations in American, Asian, Australian and European horror, to the genre's revival over the last decade.
