Technical: col/2.39:1 117m
Director: Eskil Vogt
Cast: Rakel Lenora Fløttum, Alva Brynsmo Ramstad, Sam Ashraf, Mina Yasmin Bremseth Asheim
Synopsis:
Little Ida and her autistic elder sister move with their parents to a new residential apartment complex, where they meet two very differently gifted children and discover unsuspected powers of their own.
Review:
Taking the Seventies theme of the diabolical child and moving it into the realm of the uncanny occupied by films like It Follows, this slow build Nordic chiller boasts some startling special effects and talented child performers. Starting out with a decidedly unpleasant tot who then meets her match before aligning with his opposite number, it illustrates how goodness is not innate but can be learned. And evil? That is left an open question.
