Pitchfork
A group of friends return home with a friend to help him share a secret only to learn that sometimes older secrets are even more deadly.
Why it matters
A rustic nightmare that blends backwoods dread with occult menace, Pitchfork delivers a blood-soaked plunge into rural folk horror.
- Practical gore effects that recall 80s slasher craftsmanship without feeling retro pastiche.
- A slow-burning mood that tightens atmosphere through isolated farmstead isolation and eerie natural soundscapes.
- For fans of Southern Gothic horrors like The Witch and The Ritual, Pitchfork mines the dangers lurking beneath pastoral calm.
- Some pacing lulls drag, but the payoff is a brutal, unflinching climax that rewards patience and a taste for grim folklore.
