Finnish bath house at the end of the world cleans more than just the pores.

There's always something raw in these Northern European horror films. Usually a bleak setting in nature, a story set against the backdrop of man and the elements. And usually it's "men" and the elements, women are hardly ever the protagonists somehow.

The filth / cleansing theme in this film gave it a unity that I appreciated. It also had a kind of M. Night Shyamalan vibe to it, but then without the disappointing twist in the end that he always comes up with.
