Kuroneko is a brilliant feminist ghost story that really manages to go so freaking hard in terms of how it shows the brutal consequences of what comes with violence and their serious effects on us, but it also critiques upon the issues of sexual violence and systemic oppression through arrogance.

Our FolknHell watchlist (with where you can watch them) of folk horror films by decade has reached the 1980s. Admittedly not the finest decade for folk horror, but with gems like Outcasts and Lair of the White Worm, there's plenty to get your teeth into www.folknhell.com/blog/a-folkn...

Anyway, postie's just been. Double Date is an okay slasher comedy, but the soundtrack by Goat is absolutely superb

You have Robin Redbreast and A Photograph, but there was third film in that loose trilogy - a drama called Dark Secret released in 1981. BFI have it avaliable to watch in their rooms.

Watched Hereditary for an upcoming episode of the podcast last night. My god, I'd forgotten what a harrowing ordeal that film is. Absolute brilliance from start to finish but it's exhausting!

"The Moor" (Prime)- in West Yorkshire, the moors bring dread, madness, and isolation. This folk horror film meanders into cosmic horror with its emphasis on vastness and ineffability, but of the moors rather than of outer space. It slowly builds up to drowning the viewer in terror. I loved it.

something deeply magical about Penda's Fen being on telly the night after the Bright Phoebus Revisited show. Both masterful pieces of art that flirt around the edges of folk horror, but land on something older and richer - folk *weirdness*, and a cultural identity that resists being boxed in.
