Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2019)

Well, safe to say it will be a LOVE or HATE movie, nothing between. Hate mainly for people who know nothing about Scandinavian and Slavic pagan rituals, believes and folklore. I personally loved it. I recognized and appreciated a LOT of mingled together elements. Visually artsy movie - beautiful and mesmerizing. Wouldn't call it a horror movie (none of that jumpy scary stuff). But be prepared - it has been rated 18+ for a reason. Slowly but surely it gets more and MORE unsettling, unnerving and naturalistically graphic, as initially idyllic picturesque unravels less known, disturbing and sinister, but true nature of some pagan rituals.
