Marerittet

About This Movie

Marerittet is this intriguing little piece from '89, full of unsettling vibes. The story revolves around a couple whose fishing trip to Northern Norway turns into something darker. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can almost feel the chill of the coastal winds as their quarrels spiral. It plays with themes of isolation and disconnection, really drawing you into their growing unease. The pacing is measured, letting the dread build slowly, a haunting echo in the backdrop. The performances feel raw and authentic; you really get the sense that they’re trapped not just in the village but in their own relationship. It’s one of those films where the practical effects, though subtle, augment the overall eeriness without shouting. It’s a unique take on psychological conflict wrapped in a mystery setting.
