Bloody Angels

About This Movie

Bloody Angels, directed by Karin Julsrud, dives deep into the gloomy atmosphere of a small Norwegian village. The film has this slow-burn quality, where tension builds like a thick fog over the landscape. The performances by the leads are quite compelling; they manage to evoke a sense of dread and confusion that mirrors the detective’s own struggle. The pacing, while deliberate, really allows you to soak in the unsettling nature of the town's secrets. What stands out are the practical effects used during key moments, adding a raw and visceral feel that enhances the mystery. Themes of isolation and the darkness within communities are explored, making it distinct in the crime-thriller genre. Definitely not your average whodunit.
