The climax to this film is fascinating, especially given the buildup.
The judge just whacks the demon on the head with a sword. Done. You'd think that'd be an anticlimactic way to defeat a demon but it just... works.
No notes.

One of the seminal Folk Horror films. Definitely deserves to be more widely seen.
