Vampires?

Selkies?

Kelpies?

Looks good but these types of films can be REAALLLLY hit or miss with me depending on how well they can stick the landing.

I'm so done with "The scariest movie ever in the universe" or "So scary my pants shit their pants" or that one from the trailer about needing to pause the movie to take a break.
What are you, 12? Pussy 😄

But yeah yeah, marketing.

Will still check it out 🙂

That's unfortunate. Will give it a chance later tonight.
Let us know what you think. I’m too lazy to write up my thoughts because it isn’t worth it. However, I’ll say that the director seems like he’s trying to ape Robbert Eggers.
 
This movie is so fucking boring lol

The trailer makes it look wayyyyy more interesting than it actually is

Well, fuck me...

Still gonna give it a go and post my impressions - is it atmospheric and well shot at least ?

Yes. Incredibly atmospheric and well shot. Good acting too (the Hound from GoT is in it).

The problems I had was with the narrative, pacing and horror elements. It’s like the film struggled with what it wanted to be, which is a shame because I love folklore about draugr.
