[Ritual Folk Horror] Amazing Grace by John Newton

[Ritual Folk Horror] Amazing Grace by John Newton

I’ve been experimenting with taking familiar songs and pushing them into eerie emotional spaces.

For this one, I tried to turn Amazing Grace into something closer to ritual / folk horror, and built the visuals to match that (grain, embers, degraded feel, audio-reactive elements).

I’m still figuring out where the line is between interestingly uncanny and just plain off-putting, so I’d genuinely like feedback. Does the tone land, or does it just feel gimmicky? Do the visuals support it, or distract from it?
