I have heard about this movie, but never had a chance to see in until now, and I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact I was highly impressed by this Finnish cinematic fairy tale.
A lonely Finnish newlywed goes to a shaman for some help with her lovelife, but get a very unexpected result. She is changed into a White Reindeer Vampire that feeds off of men.
Yep, you heard that right. However, this is handled in a very scary way and becomes a cautionary tale of "be careful what you wish for. you just might get it".
Of course, the snow covered landscape makes the tale even more creepy. What is also interesting is that there is not a modern item in sight in the Lap village. The only transportation are sleds pulled by reindeer or on foot.
After several victims are discovered the small village comes together to rid themselves of the supernatural evil. The changed woman named Pirita (Mirjami Kuosmanen) tries to have the curse lifted off of her, but she has already killed the shaman so there is nobody to help her.
The ending is both sad and very abrupt, as it should be I suppose. This is a classic work of film, and should be seen by fans of folk horror, or horror in general. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
