-Another year, another [Ramaskrik Horror Film Festival]! As always it has been a memorable weekend
-filled with lots of horror movies, old and new friends, beers and generally a
-great time.
-
-<!-- more -->
-
-I think the general quality of the films was even better this year compared to
-previous years. Something I think can be attributed to the growing reputation
-of this small festival in the mountain town of Oppdal, Norway.
-
-Another observation was that this year more of the films were based on rather
-light or humourous premises. There were some great examples of the opposite,
-darker themed films of course, but the general tendency seemed to be films
-themed around good old fun and violence. I don't mind either, but the real
-thrill for me is the films that are able to drag me deep into the darker parts
-of the human psyche.
-
-## Thursday
-
-As with previous years, this trip starts on the [Horror train] from Oslo to Oppdal
-where the festival is held. This time the organizers had booked the early train
-from Oslo, which did seem excruciatingly early at that time in the morning. On
-the other hand, we were able to catch more films as we arrived earlier, though,
-so I think I favour the change.
-
-Most of the passengers in our section of the train was familiar faces from
-previous years, but quite a few new faces had made it out of bed too! Pretty
-soon everyone was quizzing and socializing.  Great mood, and pretty soon the
-trip was over, and it was time to check in at the hotel.
-
-{% figure(img="el-ataud-de-cristal.jpg") %}
-Poster for El Ataúd de Cristal, 2016, Spain
-{% end %}
-
-One of the films I had looked forward to this year was _[Bajo la Rosa]_ (Under the
-Rose, 2017, Spain) but checking in to the hotel took longer than the time from
-the train arrived until the film started. I wasn't too worried about this, as I
-had another opportunity later in the festival to see it, so I went to fetch
-some food before the next film instead. Major mistake, more about that later.
-
-The first film I was able to see was another spanish film, _[El ataúd de
-cristal]_ (The Glass Coffin, 2016, Spain.) A great take on the claustrophobic,
-enclosed in a small space horror story. An original story, great performance
-from the actor, stunning visuals and a strong soundtrack lifts this way above
-what I expected from the description. Highly recommended!
-
-Next up was _[Vampyrvidar]_ (Vidar the Vampire, 2017, Norway) a completely
-different kind of film. This is a comedy, but with some serious themes hidden
-in the wrapping.
-
-We meet Vidar, a sexually frustrated sheep farmer from the south-western part
-of Norway. What we call the "bible belt" in these parts.  Praying for better
-luck with the girls, preferably the young ones ("20 plus") his wishes are
-granted by a vampire Jesus. Things don't go quite as Vidar had hoped...
-
-Great fun, and tacfully blasphemous (to borrow a term from one of the other in
-the festival audience.) Not sure how well it will work outside of Norway, but
-if you like quaint comedy with vampires, blood and small town religious lunacy,
-give it a spin!
-
-The official opening film of the festival this year was another Norwegian film,
-_[Hjemsøkt]_ (Haunted, 2017, Norway.) While at heart it is a classic haunted
-house movie, I think it scores some extra points due to an interesting
-backstory and the main actor's (Synnøve Macody Lund) performance. Set in the
-cold winter landscape of Norway, the visuals gives the film a distinct and
-chilling feel to it. I really liked this film. Recommended.
-
-{% figure(img="hjemsokt-intervju.jpg") %}
-Director Carl Christian Raabe and actor Synnøve Macody Lund of _Hjemsøkt_ is

-{% end %}
-
-Last film for me this thursday was _[Revenge]_ (France, 2017) an intense
-rape/revenge film with the main focus on the revenge part! This was an action
-packed end of the first day, and a great film to follow with a few beers back
-at the hotel. Recommended!
-
-## Friday
-
-{% figure(img="panorama-oppdal.jpg") %}
-Panorama of Oppdal, taken from the window of my hotel room
-{% end %}
-
-Friday started off quite relaxed. Waking up to the view above out the hotel
-room window was not such a bad start. The first film of the day didn't
-start until 11:30, so plenty of time to enjoy the hotel breakfast before
-getting seated.
-
-I heard mixed reviews of _[Happy Hunting]_ (2017, USA) in advance, but I have
-to say I liked it. The premise is not very original, but the characters,
-atmosphere and story unfolds in an entertaining mix of small-town madness,
-desert landscapes and alcohol/drug addiction.
-
-{% figure(img="tonight-she-comes.jpg") %}
-Poster for _Tonight She Comes_, 2016, USA
-{% end %}
-
-Next up for me was _[Tonight She Comes]_ (2016, USA), which can best be
-described as a high school sexual comedy mixed with Evil Dead, and with the
-blood of Braindead. Lot's of body fluids and quite funny, but gets a bit
-predictable. Still entertaining enough. I especially liked the puritan satanic
-family at the end.
-
-For the third slot I was unsure wether to go for _[Tragedy Girls]_ (2017, USA)
-or _[Leatherface]_ (2017, USA). I ended up going for the first.
-
-I found Tragedy Girls to be quite entertaining. On one level it works as a
-commentary on the shallowness of social media and it's selfmade celebrities, as
-well as being a decent splatter and a high school drama at the same time. At
-times it becomes too much high school drama, which in my view drags it a bit
-down. Still an entertaining and fun film with a few nice splats along the way.
-
-This was about the time I decided to skip dinner to be able to watch more
-films. Popcorn and Svele helps to keep starvation at bay, and I was ready for
-the next film!
-
-{% figure(img="nails.jpg") %}
-Poster for _Nails_, 2017, Ireland
-{% end %}
-
-_[Nails]_ (2017, Ireland) is at the first glance a fairly traditional ghost
-story. Set in an old hospital complete with long dark corridors, flickering
-lights and strange sounds in the night this could have been just another
-collection of jump scares.
-
-I think it goes well beyond that, though. The main character is paralyzed after
-an accident, and unable to move. She can only observe what happens around her at
-night. The story is decent, but the performance and how the story unfolds works
-to its advantage. Also after all the more fun-based films so far, a darker
-piece was very welcome. I recommend you check it out!
-
-Next to last film on friday was _[Happy Death Day]_ (2017, USA). We're back to
-a lighter and more entertaining film again, but one that works surprisingly
-well. This is a scary murder mystery. The films main character is being
-murdered on her birthday, only to have to relive the same day again and again,
-until she can find out who kills her. A somewhat refreshing take on much of the
-same premise as behind Groundhog Day.
-
-I decide to end the day with _[Kodoku Meatball Machine]_ (2017, Japan). Which
-did not work at all for me.
-
-The film tries to replicate the style of fighting anime cartoons, but with real
-film and actors. The monsters look like something taken out of the Warhammer
-40k role playing game, with about as interesting dialog as you can expect from
-that.
-
-If this sounds like your thing you may want to check it out, but my
-recommendation is to go watch something else instead. It's a bit of a shame,
-because the beginning of the film builds up to something that could have been
-interesting, and the actual premise of the story could have been made into an
-interesting (short) film. In this case that did not happen, though.
-
-Well six films in one day is quite enough anyways, so off we go for some beers
-and discussions of the films we have seen this day.
-
-## Saturday
-
-Halfway into the festival it begins to dawn that it will not last forever. The
-screenings start a bit earlier today, but after a hearty breakfast I'm ready
-for _[Mayhem]_ (2017, USA). Quite a rollercoster of a zombie-horror set in an
-office building.
-
-For those of us having worked in large office complexes, this film had almost a
-therapeutic effect! An original take on the genre, well executed and great
-start of the day! Highly recommended!
-
-{% figure(img="wettlaufers-enke.jpg") %}
-Image from _Wettlaufers Enke_, 2017, Norway
-{% end %}
-
-Next up was a _[Wettlaufers Enke]_ (Wettlaufers Widow, 2001/2017, Norway). A 30
-minute amateur film that has waited 16 years before being screened.
-
-Originally filmed in 2001, the director was too self-conscious to release it.
-So it was shelved until he finally got enough courage to release it after 16
-years. I'm really happy he did, because the film is well made, has great
-atmosphere and an original story. Shot in a murky black and white really
-enhances the feeling of unease. Recommended!
-
-Then I did a major mistake again. I went to see _[Kurt Josef Wagle og
-mordmysteriet på Hurtigruta]_ (Kurt Josef Wagle and the Coastal Express Murder
-Mystery, 2017, Norway.) Unless you happen to like movies that work on the
-premise that "this is funny because I talk with a funny voice," you don't need
-to waste your time on this drivel.
-
-After such a let down, there was only one thing to do: Go get some food and a
-beer to get back into the mood. That meant I missed _[Killing Ground]_ (2016,
-Australia) which I had planned to see. Oh well...
-
-{% figure(img="juleblod-poster.jpg") %}
-Poster for _Juleblod_, 2017, Norway
-{% end %}
-
-Back at the Hotel to drop off some more movies I bought at the stand of
-_Another World Entertainment_ at the festival, I stumble upon a chance to see
-the new Reinert Kiil movie, _[Juleblod]_ (2017, Norway).
-
-Again Ramaskrik is hosting a special screening for one of it's films. Last year
-they showed _Howl_ in a train car, and the year before that again, _Villmark
-II_ in an outdoor cinema in the forest. This year we went to an old barn at the
-_Oppdal Museum_ where we were fed porrige before the film was screened. The
-director and main actors were present, and answered questions after the
-screening. A very enjoyable experience!
-
-The film is dark, and has a good story. Still there are some parts that are
-dragged on for too long, and I think the police detectives are way too
-caricatural. Still, Santa is doing a nice job of eradicating the naughty boys
-and girls, and there are some splendid splats in this movie. Recommended!
-
-But this was the slot where I had originally planned to see [Bajo la Rosa],
-so sadly I missed it. Looks like an interesting film, though, so hoping I'll
-be able to catch it somewhere later.
-
-Back at _Oppdal Kulturhus_ where the rest of the screenings are held, we arrive
-just in time for Guillermo del Toro's _[The Shape of Water]_ (2017, USA.)
-
-This is absolutely not a horror film, but still a film that is dark enough that
-many in the audience wanted to see it anyways. Also it's not very common to be
-able to watch films this far in advance of general availablility (more than one
-month before US release, and about four months before Norwegian release.)
-Another great experience at Ramaskrik, and we even got a limited poster to
-prove it!
-
-As for the film, this is a beautifully filmed beauty and the beast-like story.
-Guillermo del Toro is a master of making visually stunning films, and this is
-no exception. The story is good enough, and the performances are as you would
-expect them. I enjoyed it, and I think quite a wide audience will do too.
-
-Last film for me this saturday was _[Victor Crowley]_ (2017, USA,) a film that
-did not really work that well I think. A jungle slasher that for the most part
-plays out in the body of a crashed plane.
-
-This could have been an interesting setting, but it fails to build anything
-worthwile. Again the characters are more charicatures than people you can
-identify with, and there's really no chemistry neither between the actors, nor
-the location. A film that can be safely skipped.
-
-## Sunday
-
-{% figure(img="hounds-of-love-poster.jpg") %}
-Poster for _Hounds of Love_, 2016, Australia
-{% end %}
-
-Last day of the festival already? Oh well, off we go and start with _[Hounds of
-Love]_ (2016, Australia). Beautifully shot, great soundtrack and a captivating
-story.
-
-One of the best, but also by far the most difficult film to watch at this
-festival. A gritty and realistic film about a young girl abducted by a couple
-for sex and then disposal. Highly recommended, but perhaps not as the first
-film after you wake up!
-
-Next up was _[Freehold]_ (2017, UK). Introduced as probably the most disturbing
-film of the festival, which it well might have been. A lot of fun though. Not
-so much horror, as a creepy black comedy, but it works really well. Very
-different from most other stuff I've seen. Highly recommended!
-
-Last film of the festival for me this time was _[Still/Born]_ (2017, Canada). A
-horror with supernatural elements centered around a couple that get twins where
-one of them is stillborn. At times somewhat similar to [Babycall], but darker
-and better produced. Another great film! Recommended!
-
-## Shorts
-
-Throughout the festival several short films are screened before the main
-features. Here's the shorts I came across this year:
-
-* _[Buzzcut]_ (8 min, 2016, USA) Getting a haircut proves to be more difficult
-  than anticipated, due to the impending doomsday. Fun little number, with
-  great effects!
-
-* _[Storage]_ (6 min, 2017, USA?) Something's lurking in the cellar of an
-  appartment complex. Well made, creepy and good story.
-
-* _[Great Choice]_ (7 min, 2017, USA) A surreal ride that's best to see without
-  any advance knowledge. Well worth watching, though!
-
-* _[Fucking Bunnies]_ (Saatanan Kanit, 17 min, 2017, Finland). A satanic sex
-  cult moves in next door. Complications arise. Great fun!
-
-## Winding down
-
-Again, a great festival is over, time to say goodbye to old and new friends,
-thanks to the organizers and the always friendly staff at Skifer Hotel and head
-for other adventures. Next Ramaskrik will held at 18. - 21. of october 2018.
-I'll definitely be there again if at all possible!
