We first wrote about upcoming Norwegian horror flick Skjult all the way back in December and with the official release of the film just a few days away a pair of new TV spots have just turned up online.
Kai Knutsen fled through the woods, from his crazed mother 20 years ago. Now the woman he hated more than anything on earth is dead, and he has inherited the house in the forest. It has a cruel secret.
This one is notable first of all for the presence of star Kristoffer Joner, an actor who is solid in pretty much everything he does but is particularly well suited for this sort of dark, psychological fare as anyone who has seen him in Naboer (Next Door) can tell you. And beyond Joner it just looks really, really good ... director Pål Øie clearly knows his way around the genre and he's going for it pretty hard here. Check the tv spots and the longer trailer below the break!

i nearly skjult myself
Well the director made Villmark,another horror movie set in the woods with Kristoffer Joner as one of the main cast.I got spooked then,I think I will this time too.Man the woods were never the same again after having seen The Blair Witch Project.
Out of all the recent Nordic Horror this looks to be good fun. And thinking about Norway makes me ask the totally off topic question - where the hell is a wider release for Poppe's latest?
Not impressed with movies still using the "Don't Look Now" imagery (creepy kid in a raincoat - see The Unborn also), but the rest of this looks pretty decent. Love the sniper bit in the trailer and the countryside looks equal parts beautiful and eerie.
looking forward to this...joner usually have very solid performances
Well, Norway seems to be on a roll when it comes to horror now so I´ll definitely check this one out. I agree with Ben Umstead here above, where is Poppe´s latest???
