Strigoi (2009)



Strigoi is about Vlad, a failed med student who returns to his small Romanian hometown and ends up in the middle of a murder mystery. Vlad investigates a mysterious death in his grandfather's village that raises questions about land ownership in the community that somewhat beautifully captures a universal tone of village politics. The trail points to ex-communist Consantin Tirescu and his wife, but when Vlad confronts them, he discovers that the richest landowners in the village have become something other than a living human being.
But the thing is thought there are some certain horror elements but this isn;t actually a horror film at all. It is more of a slow burn dark comedy that's currently facing marketing mishandling; as far I've noticed the movie has been pitched as a vampire flick and when people will pick it up for that reason then they will be sorely disappointed for sure.
If you have any kind of appreciation for a fun and interesting story embodied in a well-crafted & well-acted film, then you should give it a try. Other than that skip it.
