Dark and Atmospheric Trailer for the Norwegian Horror Film HANDLING THE UNDEAD

Neon has released a trailer for its upcoming horror thriller from Norway titled Handling the Undead. This looks like a very eerie, dramatic, and atmospheric film. In the film, “On a hot summer day in Oslo, the newly dead awaken. Three families faced with loss try to figure out what this resurrection means and if their loved ones really are back.”

The description reads: "Reuniting Renate Reinsve and Anders Danielsen Lie (The Worst Person in the World), Handling the Undead is a visually expansive experience, full of arresting images and subtle performances that collapse the space between the living and the dead. Director Thea Hvistendahl's steady directorial hand leaves her characters room to breathe, to mediate moral gray area, letting the minutiae of grief lead them as they feel their way through an extraordinary circumstance. Hvistendahl's interpretation of Lindqvist's novel addresses daunting questions about the body, the soul, loss, and moving on, pushing viewers to get to the root of reanimation: What would you do, and how would you feel, if someone you loved returned?"

The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist, the writer behind Let The Right One In. The movie stars Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World), Bjørn Sundquist, Bente Børsum, Anders Danielsen Lie, Bahar Pars, and Inesa Dauksta.

The movie is set to premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
