Sinekatalog’s take
A reluctant theology student is made to read prayers over a nobleman's daughter for three nights, a gothic love story crossed with horror. Atmosphere and folklore do the work, with dread building slowly. A fine find for fans of Balkan supernatural cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
