Eye of the Devil (1966)

“Beneath the Trees” (2019): folk horror made with ten tropes and zero soul

By Meg Elison | April 20, 2025

As the sage Lil Wayne once said, there are two ways to make art: be good or be good at it. A film does not have to be innovative or even have anything new to say for audiences to respond. This film is neither good nor good at it. I didn’t want to sing along, so here I am to heckle.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Tarot of The Golden Wheel, by Mila Losenko, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Knight of Wands

This week has the potential to be littered with acts that are the result of impatience and impulsiveness if not kept in check. While there is nothing wrong with getting psyched about an upcoming event or being very passionate about a project, it will be important to know when to rein oneself in. The energy of the week itself can be useful for inspiring others and reminding us all of why any mission banner was taken up to begin with.

In contrast, unbridled enthusiasm coupled with impulsive and restlessness is liable to be a toxic combination. The risk of making terrible choices and decisions is likely to be high, and may even result in long-term issues that will be burdensome. Best advice for the week: Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
