There are horror movies that make you jump, and then there are horror movies that reportedly send someone to the emergency room. The new folk horror film “Blood Shine” appears to be the latter.

Two very different frights arrive in theaters today: one is the sixth chapter of a franchise that turned “The Further” into a household nightmare, the other a debut director’s road trip into a more subtle kind of terror.

Hulu’s Furious isn’t particularly subtle about the questions it wants you to sit with—and that seems to be the point.
