Overall enjoyable tale of would-be documentary filmmakers working in an isolated Swedish ghost town haunted by the mysterious disappearance of almost all of its residents. There's a lot to like in the story, from its creepy setting to the escalation of unease as the filmmakers begin to see signs they may not be alone.
This main plot is interspersed with scenes from the town just prior to the mysterious disappearance. As the mill fails and the town starts to die, a charismatic preacher arrives and starts to bring the town under his sway.
The ending was a bit of a disappointment, being both of a bit too much and not quite enough. The aura of ambiguous supernaturalism resolves into a series of revelations that are non-magical and yet borderline ridiculous.
