The premise
Julie, the youngest daughter of a bankrupt merchant, sacrifices her life in order to save her father. She goes to an enchanted castle in the woods and meets Netvor, a bird-like monster. As Netvor begins to fall in love with Julie, he must suppress his beastly urge to kill her.
Horror Vault's take
A young woman named Julie surrenders her own freedom to spare her father's life, finding herself confined to a haunted, enchanted castle deep in the woods. There she encounters Netvor — not the aristocratic beast of familiar retellings, but a fearsome, bird-like creature wrestling with violent instincts he struggles to contain. This Czech fantasy-horror reimagining leans into genuine dread, casting the classic tale in shadow rather than sentiment. The romance that slowly emerges feels hard-won against a backdrop of real, lurking danger.
