Older Gods
After the disappearance of his troubled friend, American Chris Rivers travels to the remote Welsh countryside to investigate what happened – leading him to a dark apocalyptic cult.
Why it matters
A slow-burning cosmic folk horror that uses Welsh landscapes and low-budget ingenuity to evoke a creeping sense of existential dread.
- Cult darkness meets cosmic insignificance in a narrative that lingers long after the credits
- Modest budget, but effective practical and atmospheric touches keep tension taut without cheap scares
- For fans of slow-burn mysteries and cosmic horror with a regional, rural twist—think *The Ritual* meets *The Void*
- Strong performances anchor the film’s unsettling mood, elevating it above typical indie horror fare
