Armageddon Gospels is a 2019 British folk horror film written, produced and, directed by John Harrigan and produced by the British immersive theatre and production collective FoolishPeople. The film premiered at the 2018 Byline Fest and was released on the 31 October 2019.
Refugee gods, transposed to flesh and blood, wash ashore to rouse the myths of ancient England, half-drowned in a forgotten past. They disperse through shifting realities to awaken the giant Albion and find the holy grail in a ritual to save England from the rot of darkness and hatred that's strangling its soul.[1]
Martin Unsworth of Starburst Magazine awarded the film seven out of ten stars, writing, "Perhaps not as accessible as other folk horror tales, Armageddon Gospels is a worthy and well-made movie that rises above its humble budget and will no doubt develop a cult following with alternative groups."[2]
