Cry of the Magpie

Modern British horror set in 1975 and displaying a jones for all things 1970s. This has been released onto YouTube as a four parter, with each instalment giving the impression of being part of a 1970s TV series that has been unjustly languishing in the vaults for decades. Attention to period detail and its two lead actresses (Sarah Ellis and Brit horror regular Tiffany-Ellen Robinson) are the strong points here. Plot wise, its a spin on that old chestnut "psychologically damaged person gets released into the custody of a relative who may or may not be trying to drive them mad" although there are a few unexpected twists and turns toward the end (the revelation about the male characters that the heroine keeps having visions of, is quite clever). The small cast, isolated location, scheming characters and dated interiors occasionally give off a Michael J Murphy type vibe (who was making this kind of film back when you wouldn't have had to fake that period setting)
