As we enter the darkest, coldest months of the year what better choice for our final folk horror film club of the year than The White Reindeer, a truly fantastical film set amongst the bleak snowscapes of Lapland. It tells the story of Pirita, played by Finnish actress Mirjami Kuosmanen, who meets a man and settles down in a remote country homestead. But with her husband often away for long periods, the young wife grows lonely, pining for companionship. After visiting a local shaman for a solution to her problem, Pirita finds the results are more than she bargained for.
Produced in Finland and shot in Lapland, The White Rabbit mixes Eastern European fantasy with the noir-inflected American psychological horror films of Val Lewton—especially Cat People, to serve up a brilliant and unique piece of folk horror.
