The White Reindeer
Finland's greatest horror film!
A haunting folk-horror tale rooted in Arctic mythology, where a woman's desperate desire for love transforms her into something monstrous and tragic.
A newly-married woman becomes frustrated as her husband, a reindeer herder for an Arctic village, spends much of his time away. Desperate for affection, she visits a shaman who offers a potion that makes her irresistibly desirable, with unexpected and deadly results.
