Draug

Draug is a 2018 Swedish horror film about a missionary who goes missing in the forest. It takes place in the 11th century. You can watch it online here. I liked this one. It was simple and straightforward without irrelevant subplots, and there was tension without gratuitous gore. It's based on the old Norse creature. from Wikipedia: "Draugar live in their graves, often guarding treasure buried with them in their burial mound. They are animated corpses with a corporeal body, unlike ghosts, with similar physical abilities as in life." They sound similar to the Tolkien barrow-wight.
