Harry Baker
Folk Horror and the Mythic Cycle
A
tendency in British film is to treat landscape as a monument to be displayed,
sometimes benign or hostile, but always essentially static. In this paper, I
examine how the investment of the landscape with mythic or weird significance
can be used as a strategy to resist this stasis.
