14 Best Folk Horror Movies, Ranked

Folk horror is a fairly niche genre that can be difficult to define. It tends to involve things like cults, witches, demonic sacrifices, and the countryside - especially the British countryside, with its folklore and superstitions. As writer Andrew Michael Hurley put it in an article by The Guardian, the motifs in folk horror "remain a significant part of the totality of rural Britain, which is haunted by its past – perhaps even cursed because we’ve buried our unpalatable actions so deeply. Part of folk horror’s role is to unearth forgotten barbarities and injustices and make us look at ourselves afresh."
