Folk Horror, Ranked with Custom Scoring

In this list, I attempt to rank all the folk horror films that I've watched, not just by their quality, but also by how folk horror is it? To do this, I created a custom system that scores the film's adherence to the The Folk Horror Chain, and adds the film's 5-star rating, along with a general "folk horror bonus" to promote essential folk horror films that deserve a boost.
