- DirectorBen WheatleyStarsJulian BarrattPeter FerdinandoRichard GloverAmid the Civil War in 17th-century England, a group of deserters flee from battle through an overgrown field.

- DirectorRobin HardyStarsEdward WoodwardChristopher LeeDiane CilentoA puritan police sergeant arrives in a Scottish island village in search of a missing girl, who the pagan locals claim never existed.I'm not sure what else needs to be said about The Wicker Man- if you are reading this list then you've watched this film. If you haven't then stop reading now and go and do it.
- DirectorDavid KeatingStarsAidan GillenEva BirthistleTimothy SpallThe parents of a girl who was killed by a savage dog are granted the opportunity to spend three days with their deceased daughter.An effective folk horror story that hits all the right notes, even if it doesn't quite hit the ball out of the park. Timothy Spall is excellent and the nasty ending bumps it up a star in my rating. Well worth a watch if you are a fan of the earlier, classic British folk horror films, as it really captures their creepy atmosphere.
- DirectorPiers HaggardStarsPatrick WymarkLinda HaydenBarry AndrewsIn early 18th century England, the children of a village slowly convert into a coven of devil worshipers.

- DirectorZivko NikolicStarsVelimir 'Bata' ZivojinovicViktor StarcicRados BajicOne dark and stormy night a pretty girl arrives on a small island. She becomes an excuse for the turbulence and evil that springs when a man forgets his dignity and becomes a beast.I am unsure if this is here on its own merits, or if I got this wrong and meant to add the TV series. I'm trying to backtrack my thinking on this.

- DirectorJohn GillingStarsAndré MorellDiane ClareBrook WilliamsDuring a mysterious epidemic in a small Cornish village, the local doctor summons his professor friend for help.
- DirectorPiers HaggardStarsJohn MillsSimon MacCorkindaleBarbara KellermanA separate screenplay by Nigel Kneale for theaters, parallel to the 1979 Quatermass 4-part miniseries. The story, set in the near future, involves influences from outer space that are possessing people. Professor Quatermass must save his granddaughter from the clutches of a popular, sinister cult called "Planet People" that "performs raptures."A film based on the reworked scripts for the TV series.
- StarsJohn MillsSimon MacCorkindaleRalph ArlissIn the distant future, a now-elderly Bernard Quatermass investigates the disappearance of his granddaughter and a mysterious cult.Granted it is sinister "aliens" at work but they are working through stone circles as they have done since ancient times. It also has resonances with Torchwood: Children of Earth.
- DirectorBen WheatleyStarsNeil MaskellMyAnna BuringHarry SimpsonNearly a year after a botched job, a hitman takes a new assignment with the promise of a big payoff for three killings. What starts off as an easy task soon unravels, sending the killer into the heart of darkness.A film that seems to plunge from one genre to the next, from a kitchen sink drama featuring a soldier returned from war whose wounds are on the inside, to crime where the two protagonists work through a kill list, before it breaks out into full blown folk horror, even if there are hints of it throughout the film.
One of my favourite films of 2011.
There is a good overview here, although I'd go further - the reconstruction is a re-enactment of an ancient ritual (like a warped Hero's Journey). The kill list guides them through the early stages of the ritual (with each individual occupying some kind of role, perhaps directly related to their "jobs" - priest, record keeper and leader). They then pass through a tunnel, usually signifying rebirth, before enacting the final killing - that of his wife and child, the only things anchoring him to normality. This is clearly the last act needed for him to take his place in the cult (I don't really buy the Antichrist angle).
I've been to a number of Palaeolithic painted caves in southern France and was struck by the way you often have to travel through a tunnel before getting to the main cave where the paintings are. The end sequence definitely had that kind of feel even if, in both case, the actual meaning and importance is unknown. - StarsArthur HewittFred PearsCyril PoacherA record of a song and dance evening at the Ship pub, Blaxhall, Suffolk in the early 1950s, with various folk performers.A documentary on British folk traditions back before the modern world could properly kick the (straw?) stuffing out of them.
- DirectorJames MacTaggartStarsAnna CropperAmanda WalkerJulian HollowayAfter a long-term relationship ends, Norah moves to a remote house in the country. The locals are friendly., if eccentric. She starts a flirtatious relationship with young gamekeeper, Rob. But events at a festival have her feeling manipulated. Only later, do the consequences of that relationship leave her trapped in a nightmare.
- DirectorJ. Lee ThompsonStarsDavid NivenSharon TateDeborah KerrWorkers employed at a French vineyard quietly follow old pagan rituals that call for the life of the marquis owner to save his crops during dry seasons.OK this is set in France but all they really did was set this folk horror film in sunnier climes, so they could use the failing grape harvest to drive the story.
- DirectorJulian RichardsStarsCraig FairbrassRowena KingJon FinchA newspaper reporter is lured into a mire of pagan rituals and human sacrifice."The Welsh Wicker Man"
It has finally been released as an R1 DVD, can't be long before it is available in Blighty. - DirectorNeil LaButeStarsNicolas CageEllen BurstynLeelee SobieskiA sheriff investigating the disappearance of a young girl from a small island discovers there's a larger mystery to solve among the island's secretive, neo-pagan community.A really unnecessary and borderline silly remake.
- StarsMarc HarrisonStuart LockCherrald ButterfieldA young time-traveller with superhuman powers is stranded on Earth after running into a Black Hole. Pursued by the evil Goodchild, Sky is helped on his quest to find a way home by three human teenagers, Arby, Jane and Roy.
- DirectorAndré ØvredalStarsOtto JespersenRobert StoltenbergKnut NærumA group of students investigates a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.Folk horror isn't just for the Brits and Yanks, the Scandinavians are in on the act too, although their countryside was always more frightening, so perhaps it is less of a shock that legendary monsters still lurk there.
- DirectorJalmari HelanderStarsJorma TommilaOnni TommilaPeeter JakobiIn the depths of the Korvatunturi mountains, 486 meters deep, lies the closest ever guarded secret of Christmas. The time has come to dig it up. This Christmas everyone will believe in Santa Claus.Finnish
Draws on the idea of Krampus, rather than Saint Nick himself (at least that's what you'll have to tell the kids).
If you want your kids to hate you forever you could show them a doublebill of this and Sint. - DirectorTrey ParkerStarsTrey ParkerMatt StoneJessica MakinsonDistraught over the media's nonstop coverage of her, Britney Spears attempts to commit suicide, but survives despite blowing the top half of her head off. Disgusted by this treatment of her, the boys attempt to help, only to learn the secret behind the media's cruel scrutiny of celebrities.Presumably inspired by the 2006 Wicker Man remake, the reason young starlets are raised up on high and then destroyed is because their sacrifice ensures a good harvest.
- DirectorJohn GillingStarsNoel WillmanJennifer DanielRay BarrettIn a Cornish village, various locals die from mysterious snake bites, but the coroner rules the deaths as heart attacks, until a family of newcomers starts an investigation.
- DirectorJack StarrettStarsPeter FondaWarren OatesLoretta SwitTwo couples vacationing together in an R.V. from Texas to Colorado are terrorized after they witness a murder during a Satanic ritual.We Brits don't have a monopoly on folk horror either - this film feels like The Devil Rides Out colliding with a car chase movie, in rural Texas.

- DirectorVictor SalvaStarsGina PhilipsJustin LongJonathan BreckA brother and sister driving home through isolated countryside for spring break encounter a flesh-eating creature which is in the midst of its ritualistic eating spree.Something ancient and deadly is lurking in (and under) the countryside waiting to catch unwary teens. So I reckon it counts here.

- DirectorJohn LandisStarsDavid NaughtonJenny AgutterJoe BelcherTwo American college students on a walking tour of Britain are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists.And before the American werewolf got to London... he was in the British countryside. The scene in the Slaughtered Lamb is a classic, which hits all the right folk horror notes, and puts this film (or the start) into this category.
- DirectorDick MaasStarsEgbert Jan WeeberBert LuppesCaro LenssenA horror film that depicts St. Nicholas as a murderous bishop who kidnaps and murders children when there is a full moon on December 5.Dutch
Sinterklaas and his Zwarte Pieten return from the dead to exact revenge on the people of Amsterdam whenever a full moon falls on December 5th. It works well and I liked the idea of an official cover-up, although it did become a little unravelled at the end. - DirectorMichael SteinerStarsRoxane MesquidaNicholas OfczarekAndrea ZoggThree lonely herdsmen starved of female companionship creates the girl of their dreams, from a broom, some straw and a few rags. The creation - Sennentuntschi, lives and breathe to cook, clean and look after the three.Swiss

The next episode, "Countrycide", is also almost folk horror but it turns out the mystery has no supernatural/extraterrestrial cause (the twist was that this was instead backwoods horror) - the first time this had happened in the series. - DirectorIain SoftleyStarsKate HudsonPeter SarsgaardJoy BryantA hospice nurse working at a spooky New Orleans plantation home finds herself entangled in a mystery involving the house's dark past.

- DirectorGary ShermanStarsJames FarentinoMelody AndersonJack AlbertsonSheriff Dan Gillis investigates eerie deaths in a sleepy coastal town.Ticks a lot of the folk horror boxes - murderous, unfriendly locals, an isolated town and something unnatural at work behind the scenes.
