Too many movies waste time convincing their own characters that the supernatural is real. But in XYZ Films’ striking horror gem “Falling Stars,” the people of San Bernardino County already know that witches exist. They’ve spent years coping with their neighbors’ instantaneous abductions, as spelled out in a cold open that shows a young woman running along a winding road. One moment, she’s bouncing to the beat of her footsteps, enjoying the desert air, and surveying the sprawling landscape; the next, she’s just gone.

That scene and many others in this haunting poem of a film are shot partly overhead. Although “Watch the skies!” is advice typically reserved for alien outings, that bird’s eye view proves essential to co-directors Gabriel Biencyzycki and Richard Karpala’s stirring reflection on community, survival, and the unforeseeable acts of God. Caught somewhere between 1996’s “Twister” and HBO’s “The Leftovers,...

You guys wanna see a dead body?

But not just any body. The rotten body of a dead witch.

Do I have your attention? Wonderful! That’s the premise for Falling Stars. The folk-horror film takes place in a world where witches are not only real, but a very intense and unique threat. They fall to Earth every October for The Harvest, plummeting into our atmosphere and snatching people away before they even know what is happening. When Harvest season approaches, curfews are put in place for protection, precautions are taken, and people stay inside once the sun goes down. But even the strongest safety measures are not fool-proof. Sometimes, human curiosity is the most dangerous temptation.

Directed by Gabriel Bienczycki and Richard Karpala (from Karpala’s script) this film is a lo-fi horror tale that paints a new layer of American culture and mythology. On the first night of the Harvest,...
