Trivia

The later scenes in the movie were shot first. For example Sonja Petäjäjärvi's character 'Poika' had her blood make-up already during her first takes, so the meeting scenes in the village (her first appearance in the movie) were shot later on. See more »

"What happened to me?"
17 August 2009 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Just finished watching this one, a very unpleasant, terrifying film about sin, guilt and redemption. The film can be looked at as a sort of metaphorical fable or can be taken literally as a supernatural horror story... or maybe one can look at it as a combination of both. The one thing certain is that the performances within the film are excellent from top to bottom.

This is an almost unbelievably brooding work and is not something you'll want to pop in as light "entertainment" when you're looking for some cheap thrills. While the film DOES deliver scares to the patient viewer, it is unusual to say the least.

Essentially, it's a Grimm Fairy Tale brought to life.
