The film is about some traditional Swedish festivals - some customs of May Day, but it is adapted to make it evil. Mayday means "bright and holy fire" and is used to worship tree gods, grain gods, celebrate agricultural harvests and the coming of spring. The May Queen dances around the style, sings praises, chops branches, the elected May Queen wears a wreath on her head, and is surrounded by parades and rides on the streets. Such customs have all appeared in the movie. The film as a whole really gives people an aesthetic feeling. The background music may be folk music related to festivals, which together give people a wonderful illusion, but some scenes really caused me discomfort... always It feels quite novel in a horror movie, and it is worth watching.
