The Droving
A man returns from the military in search for his lost sister, who mysteriously went missing around the time of a strange traditional festival.
Why it matters
A haunting fusion of folk horror and psychological dread that mines Australian outback myths to unsettling effect.
- Unearths rare regional folklore, grounding its scares in cultural rituals and eerie landscapes.
- A slow-burn mood piece with a simmering atmosphere, perfect for fans of ritualistic horror like *The Wicker Man*.
- Practical effects and naturalistic sound design amplify the sense of isolation and creeping menace.
- Not for those expecting fast-paced thrills—this one’s an immersive descent into grief and mythic terror.
