Folk horror is a subgenre of horror film that uses elements of folklore to invoke fear and foreboding. Typical elements include a rural setting, isolation, and themes of superstition, folk religion, paganism, sacrifice and the dark aspects of nature. Although related to supernatural horror film, folk horror usually focuses on the beliefs and actions of people rather than the supernatural, and often deals with naïve outsiders coming up against these. As well as being a prominent in Southeast Asian films, the British films Blood on Satan's Claw (1971), The Wicker Man (1973) and Witchfinder General (1968) are regarded as pioneers of the genre, while the 2019 film Midsommar sparked renewed interest in folk horror.

  • Folk-Horror ist ein Subgenre des Horrorfilms für Kino oder Fernsehen, das Elemente der Folklore verwendet, um den Zuschauern Angst einzujagen. Typische Elemente sind ein ländlicher Schauplatz und Themen wie Isolation, Religion, die Macht der Natur und die potenzielle Dunkelheit ländlicher Landschaften. Obwohl sie mit übernatürlichen Horrorfilmen verwandt sind, beziehen viele von ihnen ihren Schrecken eher aus den Handlungen und Überzeugungen der Menschen als aus explizit übernatürlichen Elementen; der Hauptfokus der Geschichten liegt oft auf naiven Außenseitern, die es mit diesen Kräften zu tun bekommen. Lokale Folklore ist seit langem ein fester Bestandteil thailändischer, indonesischer und malaysischer Horrorfilme sowie bedeutsamer Bestandteil britischer und amerikanischer Folk-Horror-Fi (de)
