Folk Horror
by Gemma Files
A freelance film critic and struggling mother discovers lost footage of a silent-era director with occult connections, unleashing supernatural forces that blur the line between cinema and reality. As she investigates the filmmaker's mysterious disappearance, Lois confronts both the horror embedded in forgotten film and the darker currents of her own life. Files weaves together motherhood, artistic obsession, and folkloric dread into a genuinely unsettling narrative.
