"No Budget" mystery thriller with a quite entertaining story, beautiful shots of the Austrian countryside and a very atmospheric soundtrack.
The film tells two at first seemingly independent stories - one taking place at the present day, the other a few hundred years in the past. As the movie progresses and anomalies appear in the initially mundane plot strands (at times supported by a deliciously eerie score) the interconnection between these events begins to show.
There is a great tension buildup in the middle, which is (alas) foiled by a much too explicit and simple ending. IMHO the showdown part at the end might have worked a lot better by leaving more to the imagination of the viewer.
It certainly would not be fair to compare the movie to the latest Hollywood blockbuster as it was filmed and produced with a very low budget. But despite some shortcomings, I still found it to be an entertaining movie worth watching.
