It is never a good idea to read-up on films on the internet before seeing them. The twist at the end of 'Leptirica' is revealed in all its glory on just about every online article you'll find - not that it's the most surprising development.
The plot is wafer thin in this Yugoslav Made-for-TV rural horror film, but that doesn't mean the brisk 63 minutes running time is not enjoyable. There are some genuinely amusing moments amidst the growing horror and the developments around it. Some of the facial mugging of the supporting cast might be a little overdone, but the acting is strong throughout.
A definite oddity, then, 'Leptirica' manages to stay in the mind long after the credits roll, which is strange for such a slight story. My score is 7 out of 10.
