Synopsis

A stunningly photographed tale of horror, beautifully capturing an aura of fear and otherwordly menace.
A young man stops at an inn, and discovers the village is rife with strange goings-on... murders, sudden illnesses, and weird skulking creatures. Then a doctor asks him to help a desperately sick girl by donating blood, and before long, the weakened wayfarer is lost in hallucinations, imagining himself buried alive... or could it be real?

You have to see this movie, its like traveling into the past. The use of shadows and lighting is truly out-of-this-world. A must see, and perhaps own!
