An atmospheric folk-horror fable that combines a constant undertow of creeping dread with a striking avant-gothic visual style
– Stephen Dalton, The Hollywood Reporter
Somewhere in the remote Austrian Alps in the 15th century. An orphan and outcast, Albrun (Aleksandra Cwen) lives in a log-cabin farm, isolated in snowy woodland with her newborn baby. Shunned but obliged to interact with the nearby village, and in search of support and friendship, Albrun is enticed into a malevolent ritual…
A slowburn horror film, Hagazussa is marked by the sheer physical presence of nature: the shimmer of light through woods, fogged mountains, and mushrooms growing through mud—as it builds and prepares for the psychedelic infernal visions that spring from Albrun.
