Viewing Notes
Very interesting Finnish “vampire” film. More akin to a shapeshifting tale as the main character is cursed to become a were-reindeer. The vampire angle comes because she needs the blood of the living - specifically males - to survive. Beautiful backdrops and an interesting tale and allusions to the actual transformation keep you watching, wide-eyed.
