Win Suspenseful Frost On DVD

No comments:
To celebrate the release of the highly suspenseful horror that's “Guaranteed to deliver chills” (Dread Central) - ‘Frost’ out on DVD 10th February through Entertainment One - we have a copy to give away to one brave winner!

‘The Thing’ meets ‘The Blair Witch Project’ in this terrifying tale of arctic survival. ‘Frost’ keeps the found footage genre alive with its edge-of-your-seat tension and visually ominous atmosphere. The breathtaking landscape of the desolate icy glaciers superbly adds to the suspense especially when the dark of the night descends making ‘Frost’ one of the most tense expeditions into the snowy unknown we’ve encountered for a very long time.

Filmmaker Gunnar (Björn Thors) arrives at a remote glacier camp on the outskirts of the Arctic Circle to meet up with physiologist Agla (Anna Gunndís Guðmundsdóttir) to make a documentary about the research being conducted there. The next day they discover the camp mysteriously abandoned and their co-workers gone without a trace.

As darkness descends and the camp is shaken with ear-splitting shrieks and violent flashing lights, the couple bravely venture out into the vast nothingness frantically following a trail of blood in the snow in the hope that it’ll lead them to their missing colleagues, unaware of what they’ll find at the other end…

Icelandic Dark Comedy STORMLAND Has a Trailer

No comments:

sourceTWITCH
There's something movies that the more dark the humour is the more I sadistically enjoy it, throw in a bit of obscurity Ill probably enjoy it even if I dont get the humour. Marteinn Thorsson's STORMLAND (Rokland) is one of those movies its based on a popular novel by Hallgrímur Helgason and is a story about a very bitter man from the northern part of the island. He is obbessed about the local viking legend, Nietzsche and the girl at the post office but when he looses his job at the school he takes out his anger online blogging about the locals, Of course there not happy and he ends up a social outcast.
The movie could easily be created by  Terry Gillam mixed in with some Big Lebowski totally crazy and they throw in a little animation which is fairly new for Icelandic filmmaking but not elesewhere. Check out the trailer above and the movie will be out January 14th in Iceland.

Trailer For Icelandic Movie JITTERS (Oroi)

Icelandic Teenagers living it large in Manchester with JITTERS (Oroi), not much happens in the trailer which can be seen as a good thing as theres too many movies who have trailers who spoil everything! Sad that the movie looks at teenagers evaluting life, depression, you may cringe but too many people take there lives and this movie sort looks at the devasting effect a suicide has on friends & family.

On a trip to England, Gabriel meets Marcus, a free thinking, rebellious teenager. After returning home, it becomes clear to his family and friends that Gabriel has changed.



A series of unfortunate events causes Gabriel's best friend Stella to take her own life. Devastated by Stella's death, Gabriel falls into a black hole of despair and begins to reevaluate his life, which ultimately forces him to reveal his agonizing secret.

Above is the trailer for the stylish looking CITY STATE (Borgriki) directed by Olaf de Fleur Johannesson. The movie isn't due until 2011 and it does look fantastic a  dancer, a prositute, a criminal who all seem to be the same person and they need a few extra bob to finish off the movie and I wont be surprised they'll get it.

When a foreign mafia decides to take control of the Icelandic drug market, a police woman lost in violence, a mechanic revenging for his lost son, a crime kingpin with a heart condition, a corrupt officer in love with a prostitute will destroy each other - imdb

MAMA GOGO TRAILER

No comments:



Here is the trailer for Friðrik Þór Friðriksson's new movie Mama Gogo. 

Mamma Gógó is about Gógó, an elderly lady, who is diagnosed with Alzheimer disease and her son's and family's reaction to her illness. While Gógó is continuously getting herself into trouble, of the kind only a person with Alzheimer can, the son, the director is struggling with financial troubles after his film Children of Nature has flopped in the cinema. As Gógó's disease progresses her family decides that it is best for her to move to a nursing home. Gógó and her deceased husband, who appears on the scene, are not happy with that decision. The director is dependent on others when it comes to his finances and when Gógó settles into the nursing home he decides to sell his mother's apartment and valuable artwork but the profits of the sale help him to get by. -IMDB 
  Friðriksson seems to headed back to the roots that won him a oscar nomination a while back and I would say the movie itself is based on his own life and how he got that oscar nom. Its amazing what foreigners and a little gold man can do to get you recognition in your own country. If the nod never arrived Icelandics wouldn't have taken notice of his work
