The Banished is a brutal horror film, steeped in Scandinavian folklore and monster myths, but with a grim twist that echoes far more modern horrors. Set in a dark, bitingly cold and hostile Northern Lapland, where lofty ideals clash with a harsh and unforgiving wilderness. The clever script centers around group psychology, the primal urge to survive, and avoid becoming someone else’s next meal.
