“Not for public consumption.” “Just for us to hear…” Some spook new Irish horror! XYZ Films has revealed an official trailer for a folk horror indie film titled All You Need is Death made in Ireland. This initially premiered at Beyond Fest last year, and it also played at the Cork & Sitges Film Festivals. It’s opening in the US in April available on VOD to watch at home. A young couple who collect rare folk ballads discover the dark side of love when they surreptitiously record and translate an ancient, taboo folk song from the deep, forgotten past. They find an elderly, mysterious woman who sings songs that have never been heard before, though they also open the door to ancient evil and madness. All You Need is Death is the narrative feature debut from Dublin-based writer/director Paul Duane and stars Olwen Fouéré, Charlie Maher, Simone Collins, and Gary Whelan. Plenty of creepy shots in here, not even sure what’s going on. Beware the song.
