socky_puppy was kind enough to support MeFi with a donation. I'm fulfilling their request with six folk horror films. I'll be posting them under the hashtag #6folkhorrorstofundff. I'll also be tagging them with #folkhorror, naturally, so that socky_puppy can help themselves to some of the other fine stuff posted in that subgenre.

Donate $20 or more to MeFi and you can MeMail me a request for a themed day of your own. I'll fill up the sidebar on FF with six movies that fit your theme.

I remember enjoying this. The ending was very unexpected and while I'm not sure they totally stuck the landing, I enjoyed that I couldn't predict it.

I thought this was decent overall, with a novel ending, though of course my mind instantly wondered, how did we end up with that retrieved footage?
