FantasyHorror

A newly-married woman becomes frustrated as her husband, a reindeer herder for an Arctic village, spends much of his time away. Desperate for affection, she visits a shaman who offers a potion that makes her irresistibly desirable, with unexpected and deadly results.

VIBE

A chilling, dreamlike descent into primal urges and isolation. This Arctic folk horror feels ancient and deeply unsettling, with a hypnotic, melancholic atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
