Featured review
A well made, low budget, short, indie, folk horror movie. Sure, it is quite, quite predictable, and is therefore not exactly scary. Despite that, I still found it entertaining. It manages to build an oppressive mood through its gloomy visuals and music, its choppy yet weirdly rhythmic cuts, and its actors, of course.
Mind you, coming to think of it, this story proved kinda surprising in a certain respect, after all. I'm anything but an expert on Scandinavian folklore, yet I've read a bit about the huldra previously (that's why the title caught my eye on one of the streaming services) - and what we get here in this short movie seems to illustrate a less emphasized aspect of theirs. I wouldn't want to spoil what that is, though, so I'll just recommend googling "hulder" or "huldra" (and checking Wikipedia's entry on them at least) after you watched the movie, and seeing it for yourself.
Again, I think this short film is well made, and it does work, though not as a horror story, but as a dark folklore adaptation, primarily. This is subjective, though, obviously. If you're not a horror fan and scare easily, this may also be frightening for you, no promises otherwise.
