A young boy ventures into the forest in search of mysterious creatures that eat sheep, in the creepy Scandinavian Gothic fable from Jonas Matzow Gulbrandsen.
The trailer has just been released for Valley of Shadows, which is holding its world premiere at this weekend’s Toronto International Film Festival.
Gulbrandsen’s Valley of Shadows follows a young boy, Aslak, struggling to connect with his mother, with no father or siblings around. Left alone with his devastated single mother, Aslak lacks the ability to deal with what’s going on. Worse, strange things have been happening in the area. Livestock is being slaughtered, and while the local farmers suspect a wolf, the children are convinced there’s something far more nefarious going on.
The first footage is absolutely gorgeous, teasing what could be yet another dark horse in the massive film festival. Thanks to Fabien M. for the link.
