The best of the folk horror genre will be explored by the Irish Film Institute (IFI) during their Haunted Landscapes season, set to take place from Saturday July 16 until Saturday July 30.
The subgenre in question is marked by the following characteristics: an interest in paganism, rural communities with a connection to the land and its regenerative cycles, and the importance of superstition over science.
To celebrate this dark corner of scary cinema, the IFI will be screening eight classic examples of folk horror.
Here are the fright flicks you can expect.
