I first saw this in the early 2k on a dvd which I own.
Revisited it recently.
The plot - On a Christmas eve, a singer's van breaks down in a deserted and marshy region. The singer takes refuge in an inn run by a hospitable but creepy innkeeper who became psychologically upset with the villagers after his wife left him. The innkeeper offers to repair the singer's van as a token of brotherhood between professional entertainers.
The next morning when the singer tells the innkeeper that he is going for a walk, the innkeeper suddenly becomes paranoid and aggressive, warning the singer not to go into the nearby village.
The movie has tons of atmosphere but is very claustrophobic, surrealistic n horrifying at times.
The bar scene where outta blue the people starts dancing with one another is downright creepy.
The backwoods village without a single female character and not a single sane male character is an epitome of eeriness.
