I'm not sure about any hype, but I'd add Memento (2000) to this thread.
Oh, and also Midsommar (2019)
I did not get why people liked Midsommar.
Same idea of folk/cult horror, old The Wicker Man (1973) was more coherent, and had a point.
I need to rewatch Wicker Man, I remember liking it as well.
On Midsommar: I loved the atmosphere, the whole getting sucked into a cult thing. To me, that was the point. But I don't actually need a point to like a movie. It just needs to click with me. Could be just atmosphere or even setting or the acting. Everybody seems to hate Exorcist 2, for instance, I really enjoy that one for the whole backstory, setting and, again, the atmosphere.
Controversial probably, but in my book absolutely: The Blair Witch Project
I just watched it again recently. It's a sublime piece of filmmaking.
