For context, I love folk horror, so keep that in mind while I fawn over this movie.
In this world witches are real and there is a lot of folklore surrounding them, but there doesn't seem to be a consensus on how to approach them. We do know that they come with the harvest and they have been coming earlier every year.
We follow three brothers who are brash enough to follow their friend to a grave of witch killed by the said friend. However, things go haywire and suddenly the brothers are in peril.
One thing to note is that not much happens in this 80 minute movie. It moves slowly. We kind of understand the dymanics between the three brothers, but not really. Especially the middle one doesn't really get much in the way of characterization.
Still, I like the world building, no matter how fragmented and inconsistent it is. Considering how varied the understanding regarding witches in different areas of the world has always been, this should not be a surprise.
Also, we never really see a witch, except for the dead one. There is no gore or violence, but I can't really call this psychological horror either, because we do learn at the very beginning that the danger is very real if badly understood.
We also have a b-story of a radio DJ and his producer on a nightshift taking calls. They don't necessarily add much except conflicting worldbuilding, which is interesting as a lot of people seem to know quite a bit, but how is any of this verifiable in any way?
Again, I liked it quite bit, but I can't really recommend it too strongly except for people specifically interested in this kind of weird horror, although it doesn't really go that far with the weirdness.
