The premise
A group of college friends reunite for a trip to the forest, but encounter a menacing presence in the woods that's stalking them.
Horror Vault's take
When a group of old friends embark on a hiking trip through the remote Scandinavian wilderness to honour a fallen companion, the forest itself seems to turn against them. Strange symbols, disturbing visions, and something enormous moving between the trees suggest they are far from alone. Rooted in Norse mythology and folk horror tradition, the film layers psychological torment onto raw survival terror to devastating effect. What begins as a tribute to the dead steadily becomes a descent into something ancient and merciless.
