The Scandinavian Horror Thread

[Justin101]

As mentioned above there is a cracking little Danish thriller called Nightwatch (Nattevagten) about a nightwatch man in a morgue, not sure if it's available anymore as I think it was either on Artificial Eye or Tartan back in 1995/6

[Make Them Die Slowly]

"Sauna" is a slow burn of a film that doesn't quite work but is an interesting, if slow, watch.

Finland's "Succubus: The Demon" is a very good low budget film. The first half of the film is a sombre mediation on grief and loss, building up to a study on a fractured mind until, the whole thing goes crazy apeshit with lesbian zombie orgies, demons and loads of high weirdness.

Here is some Scandinavian horror i really recommend:

The Final Hour (fantastic and very creepy Danish slasher/ghost movie)
Backstabbed (great Danish slasher)
Flaenset (great Danish sleaze/exploitation in the lines of Jess Franco)
Angel of the Night (okay Danish vampire movie)
Death Academy (very gory Swedish slasher)
Dead Snow (Norwegian nazi zombie masterpiece)
Manhunt (great and very gory Norwegian slasher)
Cold Prey (very good 80's-style Norwegian slasher)
Cold Prey 2 (even better than the first one)

In a Dutch horror DVD series: Mr. Horror presents, the folllowing titles were released and pretty ok:

Besat (Possesed -1999)
Villmark (Dark Woods - 2003)
Det okända (the Unknown - 2000)
Frostbiten ( Frostbitten - 2006)
Naboer (Next Door - 2005)

Good movies, i have all of those on DVD already except Naboer and Det okända, but i will get those on DVD soon. Besat is the best of those you mentioned there, really recommended.

Great, cheers! I only hope CP3 is as enjoyable as the first film and the superior sequel.
