The Huntress: Rune of the Dead

Overall this film is quite tedious to watch, which is a shame because the story could have been the basis for a something more engaging.

The story is very slow, and when something interesting starts to happen it is lacklustre and hardly peaks before the film finishes.

Basically, nothing much happens in the first 70 minutes, and what little happens in the last 35 is totally forgettable and uninspired. Not an horror, not a thriller, not a drama, but rather a failed attempt at each of those.

Funny when the Swedish people try to play Vikings after Norways Norsemen vikings serie. This was so B-movie as it gets. Boring as hell. Drama movie.

I hesitated before watching since I read some reviews that it was boring, and yes it is a different start than we are used to from Hollywood, but like a old good piece of literature it takes time to dive into the landscape and the plot, but hey what a reward!

Its not a typical action or horror movie, the filmmakers have created their own thing and its working and its beautiful. Its neither predictable or to much and leave you with a sense of authenticity. You can tell the filmmakers are rooted in Swedish old culture and history, by the characters, props, music and the dialogue that said just enough. I felt it was a piece of art, with the pictures, sound environment and soundtrack weaving together so well I want to go back and just enjoy it again, this is so true, especially the music I will look up and see if I can listen on spotify. Thats the power of good cinema! I hope ot gets many rewards and that we'll see more of this kind of filmmaking with filmmakers really daring to go their own path not following a certain pattern or formula of success. Big applause!

Its not an action, Thriller or even Horror!!. Its a 97 % slow burn drama in the woods. A family waiting for 2 years for father to return home, venting their frustrations and longing through conversations, and a daughter who carries around bow and arrow and day dreams some bad stuff. That's it!! nothing much!!!. Watch it if you have nothing going on in life.
