Good watch.
Oh european horror, you're so dark and bleak. This was a fun film, I like folk horror. It has a great atmosphere, acting is fantastic, the use of light and shadow is well done.
Eerie folk horror that makes evocative use of its boggy setting. Director Nico Van Den Brink keeps the story grounded, never letting the supernatural elements become ridiculous. Adding to the film's appeal is an excellent cast who give beautifully subtle and convincing performances with a particularly effective lead performance from Sallie Harmsen.
Overall I liked it, well acted and effectively creepy. Nice (if not completely unexpected) twist on the ending.
Oddly cosy, I could put this on at Christmas if I wanted people to leave
