I really love folkhorror or cult like horror but sometimes these kind of stuff get boring as in the cult are just obviously bad and i dont like it when the cult succeeded on converting someone in the most bs way especially if its the MC, example for these bad cult is like far cry 5 (i know its not a movie but its aligned with what i dont want) where it just dont make sense to me or the viewer why would they join the cult in the first place?
I want the cult leader or cult ideology have a sense or at least its believeable why people would join them even to the viewer so its something that actually tries to hypnotize the viewer into thinking the cult is actual good people. The only example i have for this is "the ritual" where its revealed the cult people do these things just to get mercy from a eldritch horror.
Probably i throw in some cult movies i like but not really fit into what i want right now, "Midsommar" and "US"
Oh and no drugging people to join the cult, thats just cheating.
