It would seem that we are a couple days late to the party for this one [our only excuse is that we may have been really drunk in Austin] but After Dark Films announced prior to the weekend that they have added a fourth title to this year's edition of Horrorfest:
Hidden/
Skjult.
The Norwegian horror film directed by Pål Øie and starring ScreenAnarchy fave Kristoffer Joner [Next Door] will join
Dread,
Lake Mungo and
The Graves so far. The trailer and tv spots alone [after the break] are compelling enough. Good stuff.
Hidden is the story of Kai Koss who upon the death of his cruel mother unwillingly returns to the small town he ran away from 19 years ago. He is left in charge of the family home and the dark secrets that come with it. Kai soon finds himself tangled up in a series of murderous events that are beyond anyone's control and his troubles begin to
overwhelm him. He has spent the past two decades trying to forget a tortured past only to find that there are some things that you just can't run from.
