A group of friends, all Oslo residents, visit another friend in his cabin deep in the Østerdal forests. But as soon as they arrive there, he seems to be missing and his dog is founds dead at a pond nearby. It is not long before they start fearing an old legend that has the forest and the lake haunted by the spirit of a man who killed his sister and her lover and then killed himself in the lake.
Kåre Bergstrøm gives us this magnificent horror film straight from the country of Vikings and ice! Excellent use of a supposed legend ( I don't know if that legend exists) combined with the breathtaking settings in the Norwegian forests with impressive dialogues and a more impressive character build-up. This film has a unique atmosphere (you need to be relaxed to get into it) and guarantees a weird chill in your spine!
André Bjerke, Bjørg Engh, Henki Kolstad and the rest of the cast are an absolute treat for they eye and the ear. They are actors from another universe, a more classy universe. Plus the Norwegian language gives it a different European finesse, a more deep-into-the-roots horror! A-must-see!
Must watch this : on a gloomy,rainy December morning with shut drapes, wrapped up in blankets with a cup of cappuccino in hand! After the film, explore the Norwegian folklore myths while listening to that shit !
