The main focus of this chapter is Too Old To Die Young (2019), the Amazon Prime neo-noir television series for which Nicolas Winding Refn was showrunner, director and, with Ed Brubaker, co-creator and writer. As is typical of Refn’s work, the series is a generic hybrid combining elements of Crime and Horror, particularly, as I will show, the latter’s sub-genres of Folk Horror and its generic ‘cousin’ Urban Wyrd, the term coined by Adam Scovell to describe city-based narratives which have thematic similarities with Folk Horror including 'the past coming to haunt the present' and 'the psychological ghosts of trauma re-manifesting' (2019: 11). In doing so, I will compare Too Old… to three other hybrid works by Refn which also contain elements of Folk Horror and/or Urban Wyrd, the films Valhalla Rising (2009), Only God Forgives (2013) and The Neon Demon (2016).
