The premise
In the 11th century a missionary goes missing somewhere in the huge forests bordering the northern parts of Sweden. Among the rescue party chosen to find him is Nanna, a young woman on her first real mission and her first return to the part of the country where she was born. But what they will find deep inside those woods is something else entirely. Something dark. Something ancient. Something evil.
Horror Vault's take
Set in 11th-century Sweden, Draug follows a rescue party venturing deep into the vast northern forests to locate a missing missionary — but the wilderness holds far older and more malevolent secrets than they bargained for. At the centre of the story is Nanna, a young woman confronting both the dangers of the mission and the ghosts of her own origins. Drawing on Scandinavian folklore and the eerie weight of the ancient Nordic landscape, the film builds a sense of creeping, primordial dread that feels rooted in the soil itself. What lurks in these woods predates Christianity and answers to nothing human.
