01
The Dark and the Wicked
Why this pick
Like Moloch, it builds folk-tinged dread around a remote family home, letting grief, isolation and an unseen ancient-feeling menace steadily poison everyday life.

02
The Feast
Why this pick
A slow, unnerving rural horror in which land, inheritance and a tense household carry as much menace as the supernatural elements.
03
The Cursed
Why this pick
Its muddy period atmosphere, buried violence and land-bound curse offer a more gothic but comparably grim investigation into an evil that refuses to stay buried.
04
The Ritual
Why this pick
It pairs northern European wilderness with pagan folklore and mounting psychological unease, sustaining the same feeling of being pursued by something older than the characters understand.
05
The Wailing
Why this pick
Its rural investigation unfolds through escalating dread, uncertain explanations and folklore-inflected horror—ideal if Moloch’s slow discovery of a hidden local evil was the draw.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In ‘Moloch,’ 38-year-old Betriek lives at the edge of a peat bog in the North of the Netherlands. When she and her family are attacked by a random stranger one night, Betriek sets out to find an explanation. The more she digs, the more she becomes convinced that she is being hunted by something ancient.
