From Darkness

The park ranger, Angelica, seeks the help of her former boyfriend, Viktor, a dog handler, to search for a missing woman in a dangerous nature reserve in Sweden. The search is complicated by a disturbing myth about the Cave Banshee, a vengeful spirit from the Nordic folklore that once lured miners to their deaths in the reserve's treacherous caves.

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: "From Darkness" is a horror film that shakes me up in the best way, but what scares me the most is that film enthusiasts will miss what should be experienced in the cinema darkness at the highest degree.

3. Moviezine

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: The film is a passion project, which shines through, among other things, in the music where Erik Skodvin has given the mines a powerful voice with a composition of immense rumbling, crooked violin strokes and howling gusts of wind. The photography with its playful lighting created by flashlights, headlamps, spotlights and fires is also inventive and adds a unique shimmer.
