Title: A film that makes you think - How are you supposed to feel?
Review: This is a rather unusual film, set in the eerie, yet beautiful midsts of a remote Scottish island. The storyline is captivating and the ending is somewhat shocking although not unexpected. I feel that to some people this may give rise to ignorant prejudices against 'alternative' religions, especially Wiccans and other pagan groupings, but however horrific and seemingly unjust the ending is, the story is based on the fact that in ancient times many cultures did employ a human sacrifice to appease the gods and they believed that it worked. The basic question that the film is asking is; "Is morality a Judeo-Christian invention, or does it exist above and beyond religion?". Overall a well made film that makes you think. And the folky, melancholic music is wonderful.
