Really? Is it though?
I started watching the first Saw film with my daughter a few years back. She loves them but they are not for me!

I enjoy Folk Horror”
From Wicker Man to Enys Men and more obscure ones. I especially like ones set in the 1970’s.
I enjoy reading this stuff too.
I enjoy all the usual tropes;
Naive outsider arrives at a remote location, visits the local Inn in the dead of night, slowly uncovers strange goings on.
Love it.
Groups of friends who go on a hike and disaster befalls them, love those films.
And a good Werewolf film always does the job for me.
Dog Soldiers spans all these genres and I love that one. Doesn’t take itself too seriously either.
I also love The Company Of Wolves. What an atmospheric film!
Not a fan of gore or haunting films. They do nothing for me at all.

According to the Doctor who observed not just her but her family under near lab conditions (shown in the film) thought it was - all I know is the fact it might be true is very alarming .
Yeah Barbara Hershey was a bit of a babe.

Can you recommend some books please?

Barrowbeck by Andrew HurleyThe Gallows Pole by Benjamin Myers
Pine (I forget the author)
I enjoyed all the above recently.
Eden Lake was a good film but a bit disturbing, not because it was gory , but because you could believe it could actually happen (at least I did).

Thank you.
I love Myers stuff. I really recommend Elmet by Fiona Morzley.
Not horror per se but it has that folk horror sense of place, the atmosphere. Definitely influenced by it.

Are there any genuinely scary films anymore? Maybe I just got desensitised as I grew up watching Hammer Horrors with my parents where just the music would scare me, but they do nothing for me now.
I'll try to look up Eden Lake.

Paranormal Activity scared me. Genuinely creepy.

Midsommer is sort of along these lines and I found it quite disturbing..does have Florence Pugh in it though
