This is a wonderful TV movie from Yugoslavia that perfectly captures folk-horror images and traditions in it's brief 64 minute running time.
An unemployed loser named Strahinja (Petar Bozovic) wants to marry a very beautiful girl named Radojka ( Mirjana Nikolic) but her father refuses to allow it as he cannot stand the young man and feels he is worthless.
Strahinja agrees to take a job at the local flour mill, which has been the place of four mysterious killings in the past and nobody will work there anymore.
The locals say it's haunted by Vampires. While that turns out to be true, it's the final twist at the end that makes you shake your head.
I won't say anymore except that this is a good little film and beware, it will drag in a couple of places, but not for long. Again, this is a prime example of folk-horror, and hopefully with it streaming it willl become much better known.\
The scenery is beautiful and captures the spirit of the movie very well. The print is subtitled in English. Check it out!!!
