Albanian/Australian horror movie Bloodlands is the follow-up to writer-director Steven Kastrissios’ little seen, yet terrific, Aussie revenge movie The Horseman.Set in an impoverished Albanian community on the edge of a stunning, seemingly endless forest, Bloodlands nominally follows siblings Artan (Emiljano Palali) and Iliriana (Alesia Xhemalaj) in their daily life working in the family butcher shop. The family, rounded out by Skender (Gëzim Rudi) and Shpresa (Suela Bako), are plagued by weird dreams of a mysterious cloaked figure and there are periodic references to witchcraft, rumour and their great grandfather’s historical activities. After an altercation with a young man and woman caught rifling through their bins, the family becomes caught up in a feud with feral, possibly supernatural forest dwellers.
