(Blu-ray, BFI Flipside)
A village in the English countryside is threatened by the construction of a highway. It is so acute that past residents rise out of their graves to attend a town meeting! However, they cannot stop the arrival of outsiders, including a motorcycle gang. A rather obvious allegory, with classical music and idyllic country scenes starkly contrasting with multiple disturbing rape scenes, which linger far longer.
