Are you hard as a diamond, sea,
As iron, as oak?
Are you stronger than flint or steel?
And the lightning stroke.

Synopsis
Water, woods and rock, drifted stream. Storms overhead, fields of salt water, wicked moor. Lightning strokes and standing stones, ground hard as iron and oak, granite swallowing tin and slate. This documentary special feature examines Hammer Film’s use of Cornwall as a setting and location for its films, exploring the “new weird Britain” of contemporary Cornish folk horror with filmmakers, playwrights, and historians.
