*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is not a movie. It is an 80-minute documentary, done using interweaving interviews with elderly Romanian villagers who describe their experiences with wolves, vampires, witches, and the like. Though they speak only Romanian, there are English subtitles. On occasion, some drawings are inserted showing forests and graveyards at night to match the stories currently being related.
These country folk clearly believe everything they tell us as fact. Ghosts, witches and vampires are all part of the folklore of this part of Europe, going back many centuries. These elder narrators reveal the stories in a matter-of-fact way.
This documentary had the feeling as if it were someone's pet project. They went off to Transylvania with a video camera and met some locals in different villages and asked them to tell some good ghost stories. Some editing and picture inserts came later.
I think this documentary was just long enough. Had it been longer, I would have lost interest. It seemed the countryside was beautiful, so I would not have minded a few more shots of it. I also am left wondering if any 'young' villagers believe in the supernatural? Everyone in the interview looks at least 70 years old! As the modern world encroaches upon all four corners of our world, is the old folklore of Transylvania disappearing?
