Set to World Premiere at this weekend’s Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas is the Danish horror What We Become, the debut feature from writer-director Bo Mikkelsen.
We now have the international trailer for the film that is said to exemplify the new Nordic Twilight movement – a wave of intelligent, character driven genre pictures including the likes of Let the Right One IN and When Animals Dream.
“The summer is shaping up to be perfect for the Johansson family. The weather is gorgeous, and the community warm and friendly. Even teenaged Gustav is feeling good about life in general, thanks to the new girl who has just moved in across the street. But this perfect suburban life is abruptly shattered by the arrival of a mysterious virus. Unexplained deaths are followed by panic and a full lockdown, families sealed into their homes by patrolling bio-suited soldiers. With things quickly escalating and no information forthcoming, it isn’t long before Gustav takes matters into his own hands.”
