Folk horror movies
Folk horror is a subgenre of horror film for cinema or television which uses elements of folklore to invoke fear in its audience. Typical elements include a rural setting and themes of isolation, religion, the power of nature, and the potential darkness of rural landscapes. Although related to supernatural horror films, many derive their horror from the actions and beliefs of people rather than explicitly supernatural elements; the primary focus of the stories is often upon naïve outsiders coming up against these forces. Local folklore has long been integral to Thai, Indonesian and Malaysian horror films, as well as prominent examples of folk horror existing in British and American cinema.
