About
You may click with this if you like slow, strange gothic horror with a fairy-tale mood and offbeat vampire lore, somewhere near Cold Skin in spirit; Not for you if you want fast scares or a conventional monster movie.
Pros: eerie forest atmosphere; distinctive old-world style; intriguing folklore angle | Cons: very slow pacing; divisive puppet creature; thin payoff
