This can be considered as a ghost movie I guess, but this is one of the most original I have seen. I was thrilled that it did not concern a house hunting.
There are 2 brothers and also soldiers, together with 2 Russian soldier, who walking through an area to draw borders to distinct Russia from Sweden. During the trip, they visit an Inn where a father and daughter lives, they demand some food and go to the basement. The father is shot, the girl is locked in the basement. Though the younger Swedish brother asks the older one to free her again in the morning, he does not and tells his younger brother the truth later. The younger brother sees ghost appearances from the girl and she follows him all the way till a village in the swamp, where there is a strange looking building, which seems to be a sauna. There is something weird going on in the village as well.

I like the movie, because of the settings, acting and also a little bit because of the soundtrack used. Further, the historical perspective is convincing me, so that is ok. I only had some doubts about the strange building looking like a sauna. It does not seem to match the other building structures, so it is almost alien. I can imagine that it was possible to create such a building in that time. All this causes me to have some thaughts afterwards and therefor I give the movie a big plus.
