Hannah (Hannah Rose) and Matthew (Tom Hogan), a young couple, are on
their first trip with one another, leading them through rural Poland.
However, while they're honestly in love with one another, things aren't
going especially well in the bedroom, mostly because she has just come out
of an abusive relationship. Now Matthew tries to spice things up a bit by
buying some sexy lingerie for Hannah, but that only leads to an argument
after which Matthew leaves their lodge for some air - and when Hannah goes
looking for him, she stumbles upon gypsy Eliska (Charlotte McEvoy), who
gives her a potion to free her inner self. Now this seems to work fine
that night when Hannah's in bed with Matthew, only the next day she's
gone, running through the woods in nothing but lingerie, and it soon
becomes apparent, also outwardly, that she's possessed by some demon or
other. Matthew enlists the help of a local, Traian (Edward Gist), to track
her down, not knowing that Traian, his estranged brother Codrin (Juoshua
Davey) and Eliska are all part of a larger story revolving around
possession, sexual subjugation and even murder that Hannah and Matthew
have involuntarily become pawns in ... Now this is a film that
doesn't exactly re-invent the horror genre, but it's pretty good for what
it is, a piece of folk horror with sexual undercurrents that leaves more
to the imagination than it actually plays out, and relies more on
atmosphere than trying to explain everything away. And thanks to an
elegant directorial effort, locations really befitting the story, and a
solid cast, this has turned to be a really nice piece of genre cinema.
