I recently got sent a screener for a documentary called Sideworld: Terrors of the Sea. I admit a pretty unknown, to me at least, chapter in a series of documentaries looking at stories that blur the line between reality and fiction.
Terrors delves into everything nautical, explaining things like the Mary Celeste to the flying Dutchman, though both those are just used as reference.
I'm glad they got in touch with me because I love wrapping myself up in a quilt (well maybe not in summer) and watching real life spooky stuff. (Not fake shit like most haunted but things really grounded in reality). Goodwins Sands is the first story on there, a terrifying expanse responsible for the disappearance of many ships over time.
The next creatures from the depths, deeply grounded in facts, the deadalus serpent sounds like something I wouldn't want to see!
Through this I also found one on forests and possible cryptids or animals reportedly living in them.
George Popov is the director and narrator of the series as well as Jonathan Russell. Both work at Rubicon films which can be found @RubiconFilmsUK. Both put in months of research into each of the sections in the documentaries. Evident by the amount of information George gives on each piece/chapter. Even some guest narration/appearances by William Poulter (a friend not well known Adam Warlock Will) and Suzie Frances Garton of Haunting at the Rectory.
Rubicon Films also has some other narrative films under their belt too. Hex a 2017 movie and 2020s The Droving too.
Give support any way you can by watching these very interesting pieces. You'll find them on Amazon and through links on their Twitter.
THN awards Both pieces a strong 4 out of 5 stars, if only because I have to be in the right mood for a Documentary, otherwise flawless execution.
