What, like someone goes to a remote location to investigate stuff?
I think I'm beginning to understand.

https://www.horrorhomeroom.com/doomwatch-hybrid-folk-horror/Horror Homeroom wrote:Like Sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward), Dr. Del Shaw is an embodiment of urban modernity heading across water to a remote island where he finds strange practices amongst the villagers. Like Howie, Shaw gets the sense the locals are hiding things from him as they peer from behind curtains and resist his efforts to engage them in what he feels is ‘rational’ conversation.
Both men have disturbing experiences in pubs.
Like Howie, Shaw meets a blonde (semi) ‘local’ woman whose motives and allegiances aren’t entirely clear at first.
And there is a girl at the heart of the plots the men seek to unravel—the allegedly missing Rowan Morrison in The Wicker Man and the dead girl in the woods that Shaw finds (and then loses) in Doomwatch.
Both Howie and Shaw go into the local schoolroom –asking questions of the teacher—as part of their ‘investigations’.
There’s even a specific parallel in the one meal each man eats in the film. Howie has a very unsatisfactory meal in the local pub, and asks why the food is so bad (and tinned) when Summerisle is supposed to be famous for its produce. Similarly, Shaw asks Victoria, ‘Is the food always so awful on this island?’ In each film, the ‘badness’ of the food actually contains clues about what’s really going on.

But what film shall I watch tonight?
I'm really running out of ideas.
Also, there's not been anything new on the horizon that I've wanted to watch.

I've been recently resorting to watching cult classics I've not previously got round to watching, but it's not the same as watching something from now worth watching.

So...
Lemora (1975) - that was quite good.
Road Games (1981) - that was quite good.
The Legend of Spider Forest (1971) - that was OK.
Fade to Black (1980) - that was quite good.
But I want neeeeeew stuff.

The VVitch and Midsommar I have seen.
ObvZ.
I have also seen Lamb (which I thought was OK, but it went wobbly as it went on and the ending was rubbish).
Moloch and The Feast are films I have tried to source (particularly the former) without success so far.

That said, since I often watch these films when a bit 'squiffy', I - more frequently than I'd like to admit - often realise I've seen the film before about 15 minutes in.

Have you seen Triangle of Sadness? It’s great.

I loved it. My mother hated it. I think you’d appreciate it.
