A claustrophobic WW2-era supernatural thriller where soldiers seeking refuge in an isolated house discover it harbors malevolent forces far more dangerous than the war outside.

Two German soldiers has taken a Norwegian soldier as prisoner, during one of the cold Scandianvian winter nights during WW2. They are thankful that they find a lonely house out in the wilderness, but the houses aren't that cozy after all.
