Husk
A group of friends stranded near a desolate cornfield find shelter in an old farmhouse, though they soon discover the dwelling is the center of a supernatural ritual.
Why it matters
A lean, unsettling dive into rural dread that twists the classic haunted farmhouse trope into a grim harvest of supernatural horror.
- Practical effects and eerie sound design conjure a palpable sense of isolation and creeping menace.
- Director Brett Simmons crafts a slow-burning atmosphere that leans into folk horror’s obsession with land and ritual.
- Perfect for fans of minimalist scares and cult indie horror, with a focus on mood over gore.
- Not without pacing issues, but its quiet tension and unsettling finale reward patient viewers craving something off the beaten path.
