Leptirica (Serbian Cyrillic: Лептирица, Leptìritsa, lit. "The She-Butterfly") is a 1973 Yugoslav folk horror TV-film, directed by Serbian and Yugoslav director Đorđe Kadijević and based on the short story After Ninety Years (1880) by Serbian writer Milovan Glišić.
Although not the first Yugoslav film with horror elements, Leptirica is often described as "the first real horror film" made in Serbia and Yugoslavia, cited as the pioneering work of the genre in Serbian and Yugoslav cinema and proclaimed one of the top Serbian and Yugoslav horror films by critics and audience alike.
