What happens

Naprata is among the first Serbian horror films made in the "found footage" style. The most famous found footage films worldwide are The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity. Naprata was directed by Mladen Milosavljević from Veliko Orašje, inspired by folklore fantasy. Naprata was filmed in the villages of Veliko Orašje and Krnjevo, and one of the scenes was filmed in the courtyard of the oldest rural school in Serbia, located in Krnjevo in the Velika Plana municipality. The film premiered on October 16, 2013 at the eighth Serbian Fantasy Film Festival (FSFF) held at the Youth Center in Belgrade. At that festival, it won two Koskars – for best story and the audience award. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
