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!
