Midsommar (2019)
A masterclass of folk horror with some of most psychologically-disturbing macabre I’ve *ever* witnessed brilliantly juxtaposing a bright nature motif with fantasticism in daylit xenophobic bases. A visually-wondrous, auteurist rococo presage. 9.1/10.

The Wicker Man (1973)
Majestically shot amongst the mysterious isles of Scotland, disorientating in progressively-bewildering pagan escalation, & philosophical waxing on religious ideals – with an insane plot-twist ending, TWM is xenophobia-personified. 7/10.
