Let me know what you watch! I can't actually handle watching horror movies, but I love reading the wikipedia articles and/or the scripts!

Ooo well! I watched Impetigore (2019) the other night, which is quite the folk horror. The lead actress (Tara Basro) is really good! She's in another film I'm gonna watch today called Satan's Slaves (2017). I think she's an Indonesian scream queen lol. Edit: she's also hot af lol

I really enjoyed Impetigore, doesn't rely heavily on jump scares, more the horror of the mystery and some quite neat gore scenes.

I also watched Heresy (2024), a Dutch folk horror about a woman in a medieval village. It was such a delight to watch, visually stunning and deep for only an hour long. If you want to watch a critique and breakdown, I recommend this video https://youtu.be/dZ2En8dfdms by Rocklin Graves Productions (one of my go-to horror channels).

I'm impatiently waiting for Cure (1997) and Pulse (2001) to release on Shudder (another 2 weeks), both directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. I've heard amazing things about those films and him, I'm excited about experiencing them for myself.
