The premise

In a small port town at the end of the 19th century children are disappearing. A mysterious man in black who stalks the town may be Death itself. And nine-year-old Laurin is suffering terrifying dreams and hallucinations of a man carrying a sack and frightened children calling for help from behind closed windows.

Horror Vault's take

Set in a fog-laden 19th-century port town, Laurin plunges viewers into the nightmare world of a young girl whose visions of missing children blur dangerously with waking reality. As local children vanish without explanation, a shadowy figure in black drifts through cobblestone streets and dark waterways like something not quite human. The film wraps its mystery in a distinctly European Gothic atmosphere, treating dread as a slow-spreading illness rather than a series of shocks. Laurin's fragile perspective keeps the horror intimate and deeply unsettling.
