Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPerchta or Berchta (English: Bertha), also commonly known as Percht and other variations, was once known as a goddess in Alpine paganism in the Upper German and Austrian regions of the Alps. Her name may mean "the bright one" (Old High German beraht, bereht, from Proto-Germanic *brehtaz) and is probably related to the name Berchtentag, meaning the feast of the Epiphany. Eugen Mogk provides an alternative etymology, attributing the origin of the name Perchta to the Old High German verb pergan, meaning "hidden" or "covered". Perchta is often identified as stemming from the same Germanic goddess as Holda and other female figures of German folklore (see Frija-Frigg). According to Jacob Grimm and Lotte Motz, Perchta is Holda's southern cousin or equivalent, as they both share the role of "guardian of the beasts" and appear during the Twelve Days of Christmas, when they oversee spinning. Grimm says Perchta or Berchta was known "precisely in those Upper German regions where Holda leaves off, in Swabia, in Alsace, in Switzerland, in Bavaria and Austria."
- GoofsThe film states that the disappearances begin before Christmas, but equates this to the twelve days of Christmas. The twelve days of Christmas actually begin on Christmas day and end twelve days later, on January 5th.

Scared yet?
There's a good possibility you aren't while watching this. And while I believe they did their best (with the available budget), the evil within here did not even faze, scare me or got me running away ... Having said all that the British actors bring some gravitas to the whole thing ... though it may only be the accent! Actually I'm certain it is the accent - as in if you actually listen to some of the dialog ... better don't! You'll be saner for it.
All these things aside, those yearning for horror movies that include jump scares, might not be as convinced what the movie is concerned or the overall quality of it. Scares do the trick no matter how cheap (same goes for the effects) ... I'd suggest you go on to other better movies, more deserving of your time, but ultimately it is up to you
