Split english and norwegian posts.
This turned out a bit different than I initially though. The english and norwegian sections will essentially be separate. Afaict there's no direct way to make a "combined view" listing both english and norwegian posts. However, I think that's fine. Let's roll with this for now.

-Ramaskrik 2018 was held Oct 19 - 22 of that year. This post is based on the
-reviews I did on my [social network
-profile](https://hub.volse.no/channel/harald?f=&cat=Ramaskrik) during the
-festival.
-
-<!-- more -->
-
-## Day 1: Thursday
-
-_One Cut of the Dead_ (2018, Japan): Interesting and well executed. The premise
-is quite different than what you expect from the first 40 min of the movie.
-Original and refreshing. A bit unlucky with the version we got as the subtitles
-did not sync with the audio and was by the end leading with several minutes.
-I'm sure it will be even better when you can actually follow the dialogue.
-
-{% figure(img="framed.jpg") %}
-Still from _Framed_.
-{% end %}
-
-_Framed_ (2018, Spain): Another social media critique/exploitation film.
-Probably misses the mark as any sensible critique, but is a well executed
-violent home invasion film. Quite worth watching imo.
-
-_Halloween_ (2018, USA): This is a movie for the fans of the first movie, but
-has little to offer anybody else. Not that it's a bad movie, just not very
-interesting either.
-
-{% figure(img="satans-slaves-2017.jpg") %}
-Still from _Satan's Slaves_.
-{% end %}
-
-_Satan's Slaves_ (2017, Indonesia): A charming and rather creepy take on a
-ghost story set in a secular muslim setting. It's a tad longwinded at times,
-but otherwise well executed. The unfamiliar (to me) setting and cultural frame
-helps the film imo.
-
-## Day 2: Friday
-
-Another really great day at the Ramaskrik Horror Film Festival yesterday.
-Managed six films, so was pretty baked by the end of the day.
-
-{% figure(img="what-keeps-you-alive-poster.jpg") %}
-_What Keeps You Alive_ poster.
-{% end %}
-
-_What Keeps You Alive_ (2018, Canada): Very beautiful, and quite surprising
-plot. A tad long, but highly recommended!
-
-_Killungard_ (2018, Norway): Some of the key people behind _O'Hellige Jul_ has
-made a traditional ghost story. It is an amateur production, but a very good
-one at that! Refreshing to see a pure ghost story in this setting.
-
-{% figure(img="the-dark.jpg") %}
-Still from _The Dark_.
-{% end %}
-
-_The Dark_ (2018, Austria/Canada): Refreshing and very different take on what falls a
-bit between a zombie and monster film, but in the end is neither. I liked this
-a lot, highly recommended!
-
-{% figure(img="you-shall-not-sleep.jpg") %}
-Still from _You Shall Not Sleep_.
-{% end %}
-
-_You Shall not Sleep_ (2018, Spain/Argentine/Uruguay): Another film that goes
-it's own ways. A tad slow to begin with, but it really picks up as it
-progresses. Original and again a rather surprising story.
-
-_Terrified_ (2017, Argentina): Well executed ghost/monster/haunted house film that
-still end up being a bit too traditional for my taste. It's far from a bad
-film, but I think it hits better for a slightly younger audience.
-
-_Ghost Stories_ (2017, UK): An antology film that I feel did not deliver on it's
-premise. Again, not a bad film, quite entertaining at times, but a bit shallow
-and simplistic compared to what it promised. Some others liked this one very
-much though, so depends on your tastes.
-
-# Day 3: Saturday
-
-Saturday, third day of Ramaskrik Horror Film Festival!
-
-{% figure(img="ill-take-your-dead.jpg") %}
-_I'll Take Your Dead_
-{% end %}
-
-I started the day with _I'll Take Your Dead_ (2018, Canada). A big surprise for
-my part, a film that's both sweet and somewhat brutal at the same time. More of
-a thriller with horror elements than a pure horror film, but a very good one at
-that. Highly recommended!
-
-{% figure(img="puppet-master.jpg") %}
-Still from _Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich_.
-{% end %}
-
-_Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich_ (2018, USA). A horror/splatter complete
-with comic geeks, nazi puppets, collectors and a mad scientist. What could
-possibly go wrong? A very entertaining movie with a great number of fantastic
-splats!
-
-{% figure(img="mandy-2018.jpg") %}
-Still from _Mandy_.
-{% end %}
-
-_Mandy_ (2018, USA) was a film that didn't quite catch me. Nicholas Cage plays
-Nicholas Cage as usual, the scenography, the cinematography, the sound and the
-music is all very beautiful, but it lacks the actual movie.
-
-{% figure(img="the-cleaning-lady-2018.jpg") %}
-Still from _The Cleaning Lady_.
-{% end %}
-
-_The Cleaning Lady_ (2018, USA) on the other hand, was a fantastic movie which
-managed to surprise and captivate on many levels. A great flick that will keep
-you thinking for quite a while afterwards. Highly recommended!
-
-{% figure(img="anna-and-the-apocalypse-2017.jpg") %}
-Still from _Anna and the Apocalypse_.
-{% end %}
-
-_Anna and the Apocalypse_ (2017, UK). Ending the day with a wee bit of singing
-and dancing seemed like the obvios choice. While I usually enjoy musicals,
-especially the horror kind, this one failed to rock me. The songs are too
-forgettable, and the story is too traditional to captivate. It's not that it's
-a bad movie, it has it's moments, but falls short of being the partystarter I
-was hoping for. Others loved it though...
-
-# Day 4: Sunday
-
-Sunday was the fourth and last day of the Ramaskrik Horror film festival. Only
-two more films on my programme until the festival was over, and there was time
-to catch the train back home.
-
-{% figure(img="the-house-that-jack-built-2018.jpg") %}
-From _The House That Jack Built_.
-{% end %}
-
-_The House That Jack Built_ (2018, Denmark): Lars von Trier is an artist, and
-has always been one of my favourite directors. So I was quite excited about
-this one. The film does not disappoint. This is probably the most lighthearted
-film he has made since _The Idiots_ (1998, Denmark), but as always there's a
-dark shadow the underlines everything. Humorous, philosophical, dark. Well
-worth the two and a half hour of your life!
-
-{% figure(img="videomannen-2018.jpg") %}
-From _Videomannen_.
-{% end %}
-
-_Videomannen_ (_The Videoman_, 2018, Sweden): A trip down nostalgia lane for
-those of us who grew up with VHS, 80's horror films and video rental shops. As
-director Kristian Söderström said himself when introducing the film, this is
-not a horror film, but a film about horror and VHS fans. A great film and a
-great ending of the festival on my part.
-
-Then it's all over. The big empty sets in, and it's time to look forward to
-Ramaskrik 2019! Which according to unconfirmed rumors is to happen at Oct 17 -
-20, 2019. Hope to see you there!
