'Robin Redbreast' is one of the strangest short stories I've seen. After a break up of her relationship, Norah goes to a remote farmhouse for some relax and respite. Initially impressed with how friendly the locals appear to her, things seem to take a strange turn when the Harvest Festival rears it's head and her friendship and flirtation with the gamekeeper Rob seems to interest the locals much more intensely than would appear normal.
After a while she believes that the residents want to keep her there and use her in their seasonal practices, and will do anything to keep her. It's like a shortened version of 'The Wicker Man'. The last few scenes in particular were incredibly suspenseful and strange and scared me. Worth a watch.
