+Poster for _Huset_.
+{% end %}
+
+Norwegian horror films are getting some attention, and there's no reason _Huset_
+should not get it's share too. A brand new horror film from Reinert Kiil, which
+at least I know best from the low budget slashers _Hora_ (Whore) and _Inside
+the Whore_. Even though low budget, they were enjoyable films and gave promise
+of a director that could do interesting things given more resources.

+
+Huset is a very well produced dark and creepy film that plays with the viewers
+perception of time and reality. What could have been a pretty standard haunted
+house movie set in a Norwegian winter landscape turns out quite different.
+
+The main plot essentially involves only three characters, and the focus is
+close and intense at all times. The flashback revealing the history of the
+house is fragmented, and only give a glimpse of the terror that once played out
+there. The viewer is left to fill in the blanks, something which intensifies
+the experience.
+
+I really liked this one. The attention to detail, the chemistry between the
+characters, the intensity of the shots and the way it reveals the story in
+glimpses without ever showing too much.
+
+Highly recommended!
