Nina-Shanett Arntsen as Anniken in _Killungard_ (2018).
{% end %}
The norwegian underground scene for horror films is growing. _Killungard_ is
just one of many proofs of this fact. The director Magne Steinsvoll has also been
involved in _Christmas Cruelty_ (2013) together with Per-Ingvar Tomren. This time
he's on his own, but delivers a solid and haunting ghost story set in the north
western part of Norway.
_Killungard_ is a good old fashioned gjost story without relying on fancy effects.
The suspense is driven by the story, the performance of the actors and the visuals.
Especially Nina-Shanett Arntsen is a perfect casting for the role as Anniken. Where
effects has been used, they are done subtly and with great effect. A few nods to
other classics of the genre has also found it's way into the film.
I first watched an early version of the film at the Ramasksik Horror Film Festival
in 2018. The DVD version that is out now has been recut and tuned a bit, and is a
much tighter and coherent film than what was presented then.
All in all a great and at times creepy ghost horror story. Recommended! Go
support your local independent film maker today!
