The Traveller
El caminante
The devil, following in the footsteps of Christ, decides to become flesh and take a stroll around Earth to see how humans have progressed, and have a little fun creating havoc and mayhem in the process.
Why it matters
A devilish riff on the Christ figure that blends folk horror vibes with late-70s supernatural dread, The Traveller offers a low-key but unsettling meditation on faith, chaos, and human folly.
- An offbeat entry in the folk-horror vein, mixing biblical allegory with a road-trip through human vice and virtue.
- Practical effects and makeup lean into the era’s gritty texture, giving the devil a grounded, eerie presence.
- Perfect for fans of slow-burn atmospheric horror who appreciate moral ambiguity over jump scares.
- Not a polished studio effort—its low budget shows—but that roughness adds to the unsettling, unpredictable mood.
