Those who have seen "House in the Woods" and "Claire the Witch" come to take a seat. Today I recommend "#黑森灵". I really like the horrible and mysterious atmosphere it creates, the lonely and mysterious hut in the forest, and the dense fog. There is a weird mysterious X in the forest waiting until, the whole forest is a curious field.

Four friends A, B, C, and D met on foot through the Scandinavian wilderness, and walked into the forest in order to take a shortcut. The forest is densely foggy and desolate, and it is difficult to find areas of human activity except for the footprints of birds and beasts. It was dark, and heavy rain began to fall in the sky. The four of them never walked out of the forest, and could only find a hut in the forest to live temporarily. The magical hut and the lonely hut are full of mystery. After exploring the house, they found an image of a antler man tied with straw. Because it was raining heavily outside at dark, it would dawn in a few hours, and they planned to take a nap and set off after dawn. But in these few hours, something happened that scared the four of them to collapse...A terrifying demon appeared in everyone's dreams.

After daybreak, they ran away in a trance, but when choosing a path, they lost their way until they met the eerie "monster" with antlers, the forest became a hunting ground, and they became prey...

In the contest between the heart demon and the evil demon god, only if the heart is weak can be captured by the evil god, and as long as the heart is strong, can you be your true self.

I really like the atmosphere of this movie, but I always feel that the depiction of the religious rituals in the last half hour is a bit simpler. (Only represent my opinion)
