10 Best Horror Movies Featuring Nordic Folklore
"Horror movies that focus on Nordic folklore specialize in juxtaposing the foibles of the modern world with the ancient one, emphasizing the repercussions of morally ambiguous choices by framing them in a narrative that involves the fables, tall tales, and legends from Scandinavia, Finland, Iceland, and other Nordic countries.
Figures like Vættir, Nøkken, Trolls, Nisse, Huldra, and even Elves that emerge from cold, harsh, beautiful landscapes naturally lend themselves to fairytales, but they are often not the bucolic creatures seen in other cultures. These horror movies use Nordic folklore to innovate terror in a way that intertwines curiosity, history, and tradition."
