Path
Sendero
Ana is a young woman who has just been given a scholarship to study in a foreign country. She decides to celebrate with their friends out of the city. On the road, after helping an injured woman, they are kidnapped by a weird family.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic descent into rural dread, Path (2015) mines folk horror territory with a low-budget grindhouse grit that refuses to let go.
- Twists the classic “helping a stranger” trope into a nightmare of captivity and cultish menace.
- Raw, unpolished atmosphere channels regional indie horror’s knack for unsettling isolation.
- Practical gore effects land with visceral punch despite budget constraints—no CGI crutches here.
- For fans of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’s primal terror and The Invitation’s simmering dread.
