The Draugr

About This Movie

Set in the haunting landscape of 1700s Iceland, 'The Draugr' unfurls a chilling tale as two brothers inadvertently awaken an ancient, malevolent force. The atmosphere is thick with dread, suffused with the isolation of the stark, frigid terrain, which enhances the mounting tension. Practical effects are used effectively to bring the supernatural elements to life, grounding the horror in a tangible way. The performances, though perhaps not widely recognized, resonate with a raw authenticity that complements the film’s eerie tone. It’s the kind of film that lingers in your mind, leaving you with an unsettling sense of the unknown, a nice slice of folklore brought to life that feels both fresh and steeped in tradition.

Finding 'The Draugr' in any format is quite the challenge due to its obscure release history. Many collectors note that it doesn’t pop up too often, leading to a keen interest among those who appreciate atmospheric horror and folklore. The scarcity adds a layer of intrigue for dedicated enthusiasts, as the film's unique blend of historical setting and supernatural horror is rarely found in contemporary cinema.
