Noyer on filmmaking, Tax Incentives, Folk Horror, and Directing Love is the Monster What do you do when your folk horror film is deeply rooted in Finnish mythology, but the financing dictates you have to shoot it in Canada? You adapt, you pivot, and you get your movie made. This week on The Filmmakers Podcast, Giles Alderson sits down with returning guest, writer-director, and genre champion Alex Noyer (Sound of Violence) to unpack the production of his latest feature, the creature-feature folk horror Love is the Monster. Starring Madeline Zima and Leonardo Nam, the film follows a toxic couple whose trip to a remote wellness retreat plunges them into a deadly mythological ritual. Alex strips back the curtain on the grueling reality of independent film financing, sharing the exact strategic choices that moved his production across the globe to secure the best tax rebates possible.

This week we timed our third Folk Horror Summer movie to align with the astrological calendar so we watched Midsommar for Midsummer. It was a very interesting movie that really captured the essence of Folk Horror and we had a lot to discuss.

 **Special Note: Alexandra's current workon view:The Great Mother's Dream: Metamorphosis as Power and Wisdom at Louisa Art Center LA, 7626 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles 5/12-8/17 I'm always delighted when Alexandra Carter returns to our podcast: not only do we discuss some interesting movies, many of which are titles she recommends but we get to spend time in her studio surrounded by her paintings, some works in progress. Alex has an abiding interest in the worlds of the Gothic and Folk-Horror and those are genres which at times appear to have a quite direct relationship to current news and facts in our real world.More on our series “Travels with  With the Dark: Stories from humans in the “Limit-Experienc Series:Our new series concerns real occurrences of human beings when they are brought into or more aptly, up against “limit-experience”, a phrase from French and German philosophers that attempts to describe in the most general way what human beings undergo when they are thrust into situations that push them to their limits and conditions of maximum intensity. While originally this was intended to be a series in the  “True Crime” genre  I wondered to myself if subject and theme could extended outward. It might not even only encompass the most negative aspect of human experience.More on Alex and her beautiful work: Alexandra's Website: https://www.alexandra-carter.comAlexandra Carter (b. 1985, Boston, MA) is a San Diego-based artist whose work explores themes of fertility, maternity, and transformation, often drawing on her upbringing on a cranberry farm in Massachusetts. She holds an MFA from Goldsmiths University of London (2015) and a BA from Rhodes College (2009). Her recent solo exhibitions include Luna Anaïs Gallery and the Middle Room (Los Angeles), the University of Minnesota (St. Paul), and Oolong Gallery (San Diego).

Si vous nous écoutez depuis quelque temps, vous connaissez certainement notre amour pour la bande dessinée Somna de Becky Cloonan et Tula Lotay. Un concentré de folk horror et d'érotisme, un mélange de genre finalement assez rare dans le paysage de la bande dessinée américaine, qui nous a fasciné (ou du moins, au moins la moitié de ce podcast) pour sa tonalité mais aussi sa splendeur graphique. Ce n'est pas pour rien que l'ouvrage a reçu un Eisner Award de l'autre côté de l'atlantique, et que nous lui avons accordé notre Grand Prix des First Print Awards l'an passé ! Aussi, quand Becky Cloonan est venue ce printemps faire un petit passage en France, il était hors de question de ne pas aller l'interroger !Becky Cloonan est sur First Print !L'autrice et dessinatrice Becky Cloonan a donc pris de son temps pour discuter à nos micros, histoire de revenir sur ses débuts dans le monde des comics, la façon dont elle a enchaîné les projets en mainstream et en indé' pour revenir sur sa collaboration avec Tula Lotay sur Somna. On évoque aussi en fin d'interview son travail sur le terrible La Guerre, fait avec Garth Ennis, et sa conclusion proprement renversante. On parle donc d'horreur, de sexe, et encore d'horreur, dans la bande dessinée bien entendu !Vous pouvez commander Somna par ici !Et La guerre, c'est par là !Si vous appréciez notre travail alors la meilleure chose que vous puissiez faire pour nous est de le faire savoir !

VYS0062 | Rabbit Trap: Sounds Like a Spell - Vayse to Face with Bryn Chainey - Show Notes In 2025 an independent film was released that blew the minds of experiencers, occult communities and connoisseur's of Weird Stuff alike - that film was Rabbit Trap, a darkly melancholic and hauntingly beautiful meditation on love, trauma and the power of the natural world, both discovered and undiscovered, to brutalise and heal in even measure, with equal ferocity and sometimes even at the same time. The man who write and directed Rabbit Trap was Bryn Chainey and in this episode he talks to Vayse. Bryn guides Hine and Buckley on a journey through the film making process, what inspired him to make this gorgeous and deeply weird film, how he made it look so good, how he made it sound so good, how he got such incredible performances from the the three lead actors and what it means to make a film with heart. And then on slightly more familiar ground for Vayse listeners Bryn talks about what it means to him to be "weird", how fantasy can provide an from reality but can also show a way to see the world more clearly, the power of the genus loci, how music is magic... and why one of his greatest fears is to have "Happy Birthday" sung at him...

Hay un género que nos incomoda precisamente porque huele a tierra, a tradición antigua y a mirada de reojo en un pueblo que no es el nuestro: el folk horror. Con Jesús Relinque recorremos sus claves a través de El hombre de mimbre —con un Christopher Lee en estado de gracia y un rodaje tan accidentado como su propia historia—, rescatamos a los galos del mismísimo Julio César, paseamos por Quién puede matar a un niño y Dagon, y aterrizamos en una figura profundamente nuestra: la cobijada de Vejer de la Frontera y su reverso oscuro, la marimanta, protagonistas en la sombra de la nueva novela de Relinque, La casa hueca. Un episodio para mirar distinto el rural que creíamos conocer. Y para recordar que, a veces, la pregunta más inquietante del mundo es: "Y tú, ¿de quién eres?".

On the 5th of May, we appeared live at the King's Arms Hotel in Dorchester for our first event in front of an audience. We were invited by Teasel & Skylark – our local independent bookshop and the first shop to take a punt on selling our zine – to host a launch event and give a talk about Folk Horror.Naturally, being the attention seekers we are, we jumped at the chance and twisted the premise of the talk toward the topics we love to discuss: Big Christopher Lee, M.R. James, and Nigel Kneale.This episode is a recording of the main part of the evening. If you would like to hear some of the live readings from the zine, which is available now from generalwitchfinders.com while stocks last, please come and sign up as a patron at our Patreon. We will be posting additional content from the night there for our supporters.A massive thank you to everyone who helped on the night. We hope to do something similar again soon.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A few weeks back we wondered how well Michael would fare at the box office. There is so much to his legacy that we truly had no idea. Two weeks later, we have a good idea. It also leads to a discussion about how the media, especially movie critics, really suck. It took one of us a second viewing to truly appreciate it, but we both loved Longlegs. It is moody, well acted, and just all around frightening. Unsurprisingly, we are very excited to see the sequel. Surprisingly, that is going to be longer than expected. Hokum was recently released and will probably end up being on the list for one of the best horror movies of the year. Based on his output, it seems like director Damian McCarthy has a promising future in horror. At least we thought that until The Python Hunt did not have to do much. The true story is centered around an annual competition in Florida about the hunting and killing of invasive pythons in the Everglades. This means you will get a cool setting, conflict, and eccentric characters. So, how does the film disappoint after delivering on all of this? This documentary is a great example of how important it is for this type of release to have some type of message or some semblance of a story. It is certainly interesting, but that will only take you so far. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Damian McCarthy's 2024 horror film, “Oddity,” sent a chill down our spines, so we were eager to check out his latest: this time about a hotel whose honeymoon suite is said to be haunted by a witch. Tune in to hear our thoughts on “Hokum” — from the visuals and settings that scared us most, to the character arc of Adam Scott's Ohm, and some key insights from the Q&A we attended with the director and star.

We really enjoyed Longlegs, so the news of a sequel reuniting Osgood Perkins and Nicolas Cage has us excited. We also cannot wait to see what the next chapter of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be like. Maybe this will be the return to prominence the iconic franchise deserves. There was a lot of horror news to come out of CinemaCon. Two, Evil Dead movies, Clayface, Werewulf, Final Destination 7, and so much more. We discuss as much of it as possible, but one thing is clear. Horror fans have a lot to look forward to. It has been a while since we have had a musical on our show. (There is a very good reason. We aren't the biggest fans.) Gangstapuffs fixes that as his choice was 2008's Repo! The Genetic Opera. This has lots of gore and some big names, but is that enough? The answer is, not quite. It is very stylish; an argument can be made that it is ahead of its time. But there are also some choices that make for a very exhausting watch. There are fifty (!) songs in an hour and a half and the acting talents of the stronger cast members are never showcased. At least they kept Paris Hilton to a minimum.

Director Damian McCarthy really loves to hit that dread button, and in “Hokum,” he absolutely wears that thing out. Not with loud shocks or cheap jolts, but with the kind of slow, creeping unease that just sits there, staring back at you. The longer you watch, the more it feels like the movie isn't escalating so much as tightening, quietly, deliberately, until there's nowhere left to go. Then he slaps you across the face for good measure.READ MORE: ' Hokum' Review: Adam Scott Is Haunted By A Hotel Full Of Scares, Death, & Secrets [SXSW]Written and directed by McCarthy, “Hokum” stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, and Austin Amelio. The film follows novelist Ohm Bauman, who retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, only to become consumed by stories of a witch tied to the hotel's honeymoon suite. Disturbing visions and a sudden disappearance begin to fracture whatever control he has left, forcing him to confront a past that doesn't stay buried.On this episode of The Discourse, McCarthy joins the podcast to break down how “Hokum” came together, why he stripped the story down rather than build it out, and how he balances supernatural horror with something far more immediate and human. The starting point was as simple as it gets.

Today I welcome Dawn Kurtagich to the show to chat about Folk Horror, a subgenre that spans the globe because of a universal interest in folklore and fairytale. We chose five books each as a springboard for our conversation, but we hope it helps if you want to give it a try. Dawn's new book, THE SEVENTH SISTER, was the perfect launching pad for this subject since it's about seven sisters who are sent to live on a remote island with their grandmother. It has rituals, forests and isolation…in other words, my favorite elements of Folk Horror. All links and show notes are at https://www.sheworeblackpodcast.com/

From then on, she assists Detectives Donner and Murphy in dealing with supernatural threats using her upbringing as a babaylan (Shaman). Mari finds herself dealing with a multitude of supernatural issues in Toronto. She has a great aptitude for magic, though her abilities seem to have a price she's not forthcoming about. She calls her Nanay (mother) often and recounts her experiences over the phone.
