Feeling a bit ragged today, so I'm going to catch up on #FolkHorrorFriday films; I've missed a lot of them, this month.
The hottest party in town is #FolkHorrorFriday
Black and white poster for Daughters of Darkness with closeup portraits of two blonde women. The title is in red and appears to be bleeding
This #FolkHorrorFriday! The first of our "Good for Her" line-up: DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS.
Find it streaming free on Tubi and start at 9pm ET.
Yes! The first time we've gotten a list that I'm mostly familiar with - and I really enjoyed Season of the Witch on my initial watch. Already looking forward to rewatch it with the #folkhorrorfriday gang!
April's #FolkHorrorFriday theme is "Good for Her."
The line-up:
4/3 Daughters of Darkness (1971)
4/10 The Severed Sun (2024)
4/17 Ring (1998)
4/24 Season of the Witch (1973)
This movie really should come with a warning for yhe audience to brace for impact. 😬

Why do 2 people think that Marc is Gloria?
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
I think the moral of the story is: always keep you house/van in good working order. Don't skimp on that regular maintenance service, cuz you don't want to end up like Marc. 👍

This movie makes me feel like I shoulda just watched #StarTrek tonight. 👀

Got a half hour left, and I dunno how much more of this subtitled abuse I can take. 🤮
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
Criterion Channel - LANCELOT DU LAC (Robert Bresson, Farnce, 1974)
Time for a little less squealing.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
I think we know why Bartel's woman left him.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
Did the French decide to out-Deliverance #Deliverance?
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
the squealing noises were the most disturbing part. I'm still hearing them! #folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
Well… that was sure something. Effective in being a evocative experience. Can’t say that’s not true. Going to have to sit with that for a bit. Maybe do some reading.
New French Extremity, always weirder and more disconcerting than you thought.
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
thanks @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social and #folkhorrorfriday gang, that was -- engrossing. Stunning, like being tased. Somehow I managed to eat dinner while watching #Calvaire, mb not the best idea. Have a good night everyone, good luck with your recovery.
The director says he was inspired by this, which I've never seen:
ONE NIGHT...A TRAIN (1968) by André Delvaux with Yves Montand and Anouk Aimée.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
it's definitely the live animals that make it stand out. they're squealing what we're all thinking
#folkhorrorfriday
How do you make the TCM dinner scene look a Sunday dinner with the Cleavers?
I guess that’s how.
FFS. Mad ass Frenchmen and their mad ass movies. The sound of this pig is going to haunt me.
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
jesus lord what the fuck
#folkhorrorfriday
I'm only a half hour in, but so far this is a movie of weird personal space/privilege violations.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
Alex Garland saw this and asked, "what if we got rid of the rape but added some Mpreg?"
#FolkHorrorFriday
Oh, of course we have to throw some TCM influence in there, because none of this isn’t unhinged enough. How could we not? Marc? Gloria? Sally? Who can say really?
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
spiritually this is a western. it's a francophone western. lawlessness, rugged individualism, a surplus of men
#folkhorrorfriday
Oh, man…
How can this pub scene be even weirder than what we’ve already seen?
This was not in the brochure.
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
Oh good I made it for the last 10 minutes
#FolkHorrorFriday
Bartel and Van Morrison, jilted by the same woman, both driven mad with loss. One a xenophobe, the other is taking hostages as her replacement in the French countryside. Women, how could you?
Something about the matter of factness of Bartel’s madness is really chilling.
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
The other one I'm thinking about is ILS, the French original of THE STRANGERS.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
I'n thinking FUNNY GAMES.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
I don't speak French, but I believe this movie started by claiming it was part tarantula.
