It seems that folk horror has become a common trope in the genre over the past decade. William Brent Bell's "Lord of Misrule" is the first one that I've seen. It's a mediocre movie. It's about a priest whose daughter disappears at a festival, and while searching for her, the priest discovers the town's unsettling past.
Basically, this movie is just a way to pass time. There's nothing edifying or innovative about it, although I did wonder if the monster was based on anything from actual folklore.
My point is that my favorite British horror flicks are the old ones starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee (a good recent one was 2021's "Censor"). This is something that you'd watch if there's nothing else available.
