Reviews
Folk horror fun
"Very entertaining Dutch folk horror similar to the wicker man and midsommar. The cinematography, picture looks great and a fun mostly electronic score. Very likeable lead. Came with a couple behind the scenes FX extras on the disc. Nifty packaging art."
— Kresh R. (4/5)
I’m not going to lie,
"I’m not going to lie, the artwork sold me on this release. The trailer then helped finalize that decision and I’m glad I did. Although I tend to gravitate towards the older titles, every once in a while a modern titles stands out, and this is one of those. I won’t spoilt too much, but a very unique film involving witches. Extras are not overly robust but there are few worth checking out."
— Kyle C. (3/5)
Incredible release!

Dutch Folk Horror Mood
"Bleak, eerie Dutch folk horror with a great sense of place. The peat bog setting gives the whole thing a damp, ancient dread, and I liked how the mystery slowly leans into something older and stranger. Nice Shudder pickup, and the Blu-ray extras are a welcome bonus."
— Danny W. (5/5)
