Plot

On a college trip to remote Northern forests, one of the students - Marina - encounters a burial site of an ancient witch, and is possessed by the spirits of the past.

Sinekatalog’s take

A Russian supernatural thriller in which a student trip to the northern forests wakes the spirit of an ancient witch. The setup is routine and the effects modest, so it is mostly for undemanding fans of folk-tinged teen horror.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
