From Good Boy to Let the Right One In, these are the best Nordic horror movies, ranked.
With their cold winters and gorgeous landscapes, Nordic countries are able to produce uniquely atmospheric and visually striking horror films. While region-specific horror movements like Asian Extreme and New French Extremity have gained international recognition, Nordic horror has typically been overlooked in genre discussions.
9 Dead Snow Directed by Tommy Wirkola, recently known for Violent Night, Dead Snow is a Norwegian horror-comedy about a group of vacationing students being besieged by a troop of Nazi zombies. The film features copious amounts of blood and gore and contains fun, intense, and absurd action sequences, deftly executed by Wirkola's directing.
Ada, the titular lamb, is truly adorable, and concern for her safety drives much of the film's sublime tension. With realistic creature effects, great lead performances, especially from Rapace, and a strong soundtrack, Lamb is a beautiful and subtle domestic horror story in line with A24's other releases.
The film is a satire of social norms, with protagonists Bjørn and Louise behaving in frustratingly polite ways that totally jeopardize the safety of them and their daughter Agnes . Brutal and uncomfortable, Speak No Evil is a social horror that explores the extreme consequences of confrontation avoidance and people-pleasing.
4 Lake Bodom Inspired by the 1960s true crime case of the Lake Bodom murders, Lake Bodom is a Finnish slasher film co-written and directed by Taneli Mustonen. The film follows a group of modern teenagers as they spend the night camping at the site of the murders in order to investigate their theories behind the case.
2 Thelma Directed by Joachim Trier, Thelma is a Norwegian horror/romance film about a young woman with uncontrollable supernatural powers that present as psychogenic seizures. As Thelma attends university and falls in love with Anja , a female classmate, the shame she feels about her lesbian identity begins to unleash supernatural chaos.
