Tarkovsky, especially Mirror and Stalker, for their dream-like quality and the way they blend memory, reality, and vision. That kind of non-linear, impressionistic storytelling is something I'm always drawn to.

I’ve seen it referred to as a folk horror film, which is fine, but I guess when I think of that sub-genre I’m going to films like The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General, which are not far off from this. I was also thinking about Ken Russell’s The Devils, which I watched again recently. It’s an insane film.
