Excerpt from a film based on a Swedish folk tale. The stupid, but brave, hero wards off a pack of demons trying to burn down the mill. Done for fun and with stop-motion animated demon puppets.

So in other words, there's no reason to be afraid of monsters because if you do anything to them and they will explode. correct?

@TheClassyHooker My experience is that most so-called monsters are shicken-shit characters, that'll disappear if you just roar louder than them.

@bluworm I guess it makes more sense as a crucifix :P

Thanks for answering :)

[bluworm]

@reddalek555 It's actually not a sword, but a crucifix. Pause at the close-up, when he grabs it, and you'll see the image of Christ on the cross. So, no wonder the demon had problems grabbing it. However, it is really made of iron, cast in a local forge.

At 2:17, is it because the sword was made of Iron that it repelled the Demon?
