Wither
Directed by Tommy Wiklund, Sonny Laguna1h 36m2013
Ida and Albin are a happy couple. They set off to a cabin in the vast Swedish woodlands to have a fun holiday with their friends. But under the floorboards is an evil that waits to be unleashed.
Our read: Wither (2013) reads as a heavy, breathless, inventive horror entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, breathless, extreme horror, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold.
