ADORABLE HUMANS: Danish Hans Christian Andersen Horror Anthology to Stream Worldwide at End of the Month
The Danish horror anthology, Adorbable Humans, a modern-set but darker take on four tales from Hans Christian Andersen, will be available worldwide on a streaming platform near you (We think? We hope!).
The four tales are directed by Danish directors Anders Jon, Michael Kunov, Kasper Juhl and Michael Panduro. We have featured films from Juhl and Panduro on our pages in the past so it is good to write about them again.
Adorable Humans will premiere globally on iTunes/AppleTV, Amazon Prime and Google TV as well as local streaming services like Blockbuster, SF Anytime and Rakuten in Scandinavia.
We have a small galler of stills and the trailer down below the official announcement.
ADORABLE HUMANSDanish Hans Christian Andersen horror set for Worldwide streaming premiere on August 31.Following a succesful festival run, Danish feature film ADORABLE HUMANS – a four part anthology reimagining beloved author Hans Christian Andersen’s writings as horror stories – is set to premiere on streaming platforms on August 31st.HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN AS YOU’VE NEVER EXPERIENCED HIM BEFOREWhile adapting Andersen’s fairy tales and children’s stories may be nothing new – Disney’s FROZEN and THE LITTLE MERMAID serving as prime examples – Danish horror anthology ADORABLE HUMANS has been turning heads on the international festival circuit by subverting expectations and diving into the darker side of Andersen’s work.Made on a shoestring budget of just €70,000 (approximately $75,000) ADORABLE HUMANS is the collective brainchild of Danish directors Anders Jon, Michael Kunov, Kasper Juhl and Michael Panduro, who set out to prove that Andersen’s fairy tales are much more than simple children’s stories. Set in contemporary Denmark, ADORABLE HUMANS interprets four of Andersen’s stories into a chilling feature film, reminding us that fairy tales were never meant to be safe.Marking the 150th anniversary of Andersen’s death, the film has been touring international film festivals since October, screening at premiere genre festivals like Brazil’s Fantaspoa, Finland’s Night Visions, UK’s Grimmfest and finishing of at Mexico’s Macabro next week. During its run the film has garnered positive reviews and won awards at Mexico’s Feratum, Australia’s Dark Nights and The Nordic Int. Film Festival in New York City.On Monday, August 31, ADORABLE HUMANS will finally be publicly available on streaming platforms Worldwide.ADORABLE HUMANS SYNOPSISAs supernatural forces slip through the cracks, four destinies are intertwined and four souls are forced to confront their demons. A young woman’s hope for a fresh start is derailed by a mysterious enchanted mirror, while her psychiatrist is struck by visions of a terrifying accident. In the nearby city, a care worker uncovers dark and perverted secrets as he tends to a dying man, and writer’s block turns demonic for an ambitious musician. ADORABLE HUMANS is a film anthology about fate and acceptance, about love and loss – and it is Hans Christian Andersen as a horror film.ABOUT THE FILMTitle: Adorable Humans (org.
