The Body Tree
A group of Americans travel to Siberia where a friend died stabbed. Soon, they will discover their hosts are involved in the occult.
Why it matters
A tense folk horror descent into Siberian occultism that blends remote wilderness dread with a murder mystery’s claustrophobic paranoia.
- Set in the Altai Republic, its chillingly authentic landscape elevates isolation to a character in itself.
- Erica Dasher anchors the cast with a grounded, compelling performance amid spiraling suspicion.
- Fans of folklore-rooted horror will appreciate the slow-burn unease and eerie cultural textures.
- Not for those craving jump-scare thrills—this one unspools like a ritualistic fever dream, thick with atmospheric dread.
