Movies like Kinds of Kindness

“Kinds of Kindness (2024) is a 2020s Irish-British-American folk-horror anthology that recasts rural folklore as a formal inquiry into will and identity. It stages three interlinked moral dilemmas through chiaroscuro lighting, spare mise-en-scène, and episodic long takes to make agency itself the central dramatic stake. Lupani: the film compels reassessment of folk-horror as ethical interrogation rather than mere spectacle, arguing for its cultural necessity through technical restraint.”
