I am childishly excited by the fact that my instagram post saying how brilliant the Icelandic film Metalhead is and how fantastic the protagonist Thors Bjorg Helga is, was liked by the actress herself. (Do watch the film, it’s on YouTube with English subtitles)

Congratulations to Ellie for producing a whole human since last time! Good to hear from you both again. Totally agree with Ellie that it was more arty than narrative! Always great to see Ingvar, however briefly 😁👌 & my takeaway from the film was 'there's a special berry picking device?!' #FilmSky 🇮🇸

366 Days of Film. Day 81 - Lamb. A couple living in rural Iceland, struggling to have a child, adopt a lamb. Best to approach this film cold as the fable slowly, quietly, reveals its mysteries to great effect. I wasn't a fan of that ending, though, a bit of a... Grimm wrap up.

Set and shot in Iceland, the period horror film THE DAMNED features the kind of quiet atmospheric chills that really get to me. Here's my review: jacobin.com/2025/01/the-...

The Damned Settlers Have Got to Pay

With a modest budget but plenty of thrills involving spooky 19th-century ships, frozen wastelands, and ghouls from Nordic folktales, The Damned proudly carries on our Gothic horror revival.
