Interesting in its own peculiar way

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2019)

The visuals were great, the bright lights, costumes, nature, architecture of the community buildings and structures, the characters of the Hårga community and their way of thinking gives this movie some freshness. The depictions of the every-day activities was interesting to me (cooking, gardening, meals, etc.)
It is very difficuly to compare it to other horror movies, but I could see some similarities with the Wicker Man and the VVitch. Neverthless, this one has some gruesome visual depictions of deaths / rituals, which swing in the direction of Eli Roth's Inferno (just a little).
The biggest minus was the cliche characters of americans and depiction of the relationship between the main characters - Dani and Christian. I was very displeased in respect to acting and the depiction of their relationship in comparison to the depiction of the Hårga community leveryday and own traditions.
Overall, I would say that the movie itself was interesting in its difference from the standard horror genre movies. The interconnection between the novadays mindset of the "guests" juxtapositioned with odd traditions / culture of a remote and closed community gives the movie its psychological twist and challenges to realise that still, there are many cultures, which consist of traditions beyond our belief, but we are unaware of, as we are accustomed to the modern lifestyles.
Would not recommend the movie to minors due to graphic violence, nudity, etc.
