The White Reindeer
1952 · TMDB 6.6 · Valkoinen peura
Directed by Erik Blomberg
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.
Why it matters
In Finnish Lapland, a lonely newlywed seeks a love spell and is transformed into a reindeer that preys on hunters. Erik Blomberg shoots the snow like a folk tale already in progress, and the horror arrives without warning.
