8	''Wither'' is a [[UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} Swedish]] horror film centering around a group of teens arriving in a [[HauntedHouse cabin in the woods]] which unfortunately is inhabited by a really pissed [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Vættr]]/Wither.

10	The group are aided by a mysterious hunter who has a history with the Withers, as they all try to survive the night.

13	!!Wither provides examples of:
14
15	%%* AbsurdlyIneffectiveBarricade
16	* AnimateDead: While the Wither herself is a demon/earth spirit, her victims and the people killed by them are reanimated corpses possesed by her power.
17	* BodyHorror: Possesion by a Wither causes this.
18	* CellPhonesAreUseless: Surprisingly averted for this kind of film. The police are called as soon as things start to go wrong (although they don't get there in time), and the final survivors track the whereabouts of one of the formerly human Withers by calling its cell phone and listening for the nearby ring.
19	%%* CreepyBasement
20	%%* CuriosityKilledTheCast
21	%%* FaceRevealingTurn
22	* FinalBoss: The master Wither.
23	* FinalGirl: GenderInvertedTrope, as [[spoiler:Albin]] is the sole survivor.
24	* EldritchAbomination: The Wither
25	%%* Gorn
26	%%* HauntedHouse
27	%%* LosingYourHead
28	* NotAZombie: Subverted. The master Wither is not a zombie, but her victims are.
29	* NotUsingTheZWord: The Withers are refered to by their former names, while they were alive. No one calls them zombies or Withers. Only the master Wither is refered to as a Wither, and that is in the closing credits.
30	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: The Vættr/Wither is an earth spirit living underground. She does not actually attack people, rather she steals their souls by looking into their eyes and that way takes them over.
31	* PoliceAreUseless: The police are called, but for some reason need someone from the house to come down and meet them before they will approach it. [[spoiler: The couple who set out to do so don't make it.]]
32	* TookALevelInBadass: Albin breaks his left arm and fights no fewer than 4 Withers in a row throughout the last 15 minutes with bone sticking out of his left arm.
33	* RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain: Only total decapitation or completely obliterating the brain will do. A Wither who has simply had its brain punctured or partially destroyed will keep coming.
34	* RiseFromYourGrave: A girl about to turn into a Wither is buried alive. It returns later.
35	%%* ScareChord
36	%%* SlidingScaleOfUndeadRegeneration
37	* StakingTheLovedOne: Happens a lot!
38	* TitleOfTheDead: The German title is ''Cabin of the Dead''.
39	* ZombieInfectee: People who fall prey to the Wither become this.
