Review: Die Zombiejäger
Possibly Sweden’s first zombie movie, Die Zombiejäger shows us what could happen if Gothenburg was invaded by zombies. And why the EU is important. Made on a budget of about 4000 euros (6000 dollars), Die Zombiejäger is – as expected – an amateur hobby production made by devoted horror fans. These no/low-budget horror movies are […]

Dead Snow 2 review
The most expensive Nordic horror movie! Over-the-top gore! Nazi zombies! WW2 Tiger tanks! Communists! Vomit! Necrophilia! Or, to put it short: Dead Snow 2.

Fucking Deadheads preview
Many directors, writers and actors started their careers in amateur horror films. Maybe the Swedish Fucking Deadheads will give birth to the next horror legend? Becoming legends is probably not the intention of the small cast and crew for the Swedish film Zombiedjävlar, translating to something like Zombie Devils in English, although the English title […]

Review: Wither

When a horror film premiere makes it to the main news on national TV, you know it’s a big thing.

Review: The Unliving
Swedish horror films are so few and far between that when public national broadcaster SVT co-produces and broadcasts one, it’s worth taking notice. Directed by Swedish first-timer Hugo Lilja as a film school exam project in 2010, the 28 minute award-winning Återfödelsen (meaning ‘rebirth’ – international title is The Unliving) takes place 25 years after […]
