Draug
In the 11th century a missionary goes missing somewhere in the huge forests bordering the northern parts of Sweden. Among the rescue party chosen to find him is Nanna, a young woman on her first real mission and her first return to the part of the country where she was born. But what they will find deep inside those woods is something else entirely. Something dark. Something ancient. Something evil.
Why it matters
A brooding plunge into Norse folk horror that conjures ancient dread from the shadowy Scandinavian wilderness.
- Rooted in 11th-century Scandinavia, it taps into deep Nordic folklore rarely explored on screen.
- Nanna’s journey blends coming-of-age and survival horror against a bleak, atmospheric forest backdrop.
- Practical creature effects and haunting sound design amplify the palpable sense of an ancient, malevolent force.
- For fans of slow-burn, mood-driven folk horror like “The Ritual” or “Midsommar,” it’s a chilly, immersive trip into primal fears.
