Diagonaldi Very well executed

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

SnoopyStyle It's 1595 after a 25 year war between Sweden-Finland and Russia. Two commissions are sent to mark the new border. The southern commission would not make it to the meeting place. Battle hardened Knut leads the Sweden-Finnish delegation. His brother Eerik is hoping to make a map of the uncharted territories and present it to the King. They brutalize a father and daughter in an isolated home at the swamps with their Russian icon. Eerik leaves the girl locked in the cellar storage. Then he finds that they're being followed by her spirit. They find a village in the middle of the swamp.I like the moodiness of the wilderness. However, I have a tough time connecting with these characters. I would have liked Eerik not lock the girl in the cellar. Knut should have been the one. Eerik's innocence should be maintained more. He could still feel guilty without actually being guilty. It would also make the brothers' relationship more complicated. The tension in the village could have been heightened.

trashgang For me the movie was good. I would like to end here because I think I missed something in the story. It's a lot of blah blah and slowly it goes to the mystery of the sauna but sadly I wasn't glued to the screen. I have seen so many reviews in papers and on the Net saying that it is good but for me it was mediocre. It has great cinematography, and uses silence and the shots to tell the story over dialog. But still, it was supposed to be a chilling scary movie that draws you in and makes you feel the fear that is on screen. But not for me. Am I to deep into horror that supernatural movies like this doesn't work for me, I just can tell. It stands on his own, almost no blood and still people were scared while watching it. Must be me I think. I better go thinking what I have just seen, in a sauna.

u992491 I've been watching horror since childhood, and it has become a tiring, arduous task trying to find a flick that satisfies my elitist craving. I can't begin to tell you how happy (and genuinely frightened) I was to watch this.Everything about this movie is original. Set in 16th century Europe, the story's foundations are firmly planted in realism. The horror comes from masterful application of suspense, fear and dread that is gradually introduced in each scene. By the time you reach the climax you're paralytic; gripped by fear – eager to watch to the end but terrified by what may happen next.Having said that, this movie isn't for everyone. If you're after a bunch of over-sexed, blonde and artificially enhanced teenagers being hunted down by a knife yielding psycho – you're gonna hate this. If you're after fast-paced action, you'll be yawning throughout the film. If you're after a complex horror film marked by developed characterisation, a unique premise and set in an unfamiliar time in history, you will be pleased.This is a rare, horror film that focuses on atmosphere and restrained script-writing, resulting in a mature, sophisticated experience for the discerning viewer. Grab a glass of red and enjoy!

experten-1 It is a stylish gloomy film. But it is very boring film. Action occurs very slowly. Events are not present. Besides, the film contains too many anachronisms and historical errors.The uniform of soldiers, their ranks, a manner to speak and many other things does not correspond to time in which there is a film action.The sense of events also is not clear. Nevertheless, once it is possible to look. From the pleasant moments it is necessary to note good work of actors. Gloom of a film is well allocated thanks to excellent work of the camera man. This film can very much it will be pleasant to fans of gloomy mystical thrillers. My rating 4/10
