The Pale Horse review, Culture Whisper
England’s pagan past, and its implementation in the present, is a favourite subject for folk horror movies – just look at The Wicker Man. TV writer Sarah Phelps (The ABC Murders) appears to love the genre, as her hit horror-detective series Dublin Murders showed last year. Now she returns to that very local, very communal creepiness in The Pale Horse, her latest and (reportedly) final Agatha Christie adaptation.
One of Christie’s stranger novels, this story bursts with witches, prophecies and unnerving rituals within the tiny village of Much Deeping, in 1961.
