I remember you (2017)

Director: Óskar Thór Axelsson

Starring: Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir, Elma Stefania Agustsdottir

A story about a young man and woman who move into a small abandoned town in Iceland to renovate an old house. Little do they know the town has a dark history.

The cast delivers very realistic acting, making this supernatural film very believable. This was creepy and mysterious, and remained interesting throughout, with a very good blend of reality and the supernatural. The film is essentially about a father who’s son went missing, and the father believing his son to be dead. That doesn’t stop him from hoping otherwise so he can find closure. The son’s spirit, on the other hand, also can’t rest until he is found.

Spoiler: Only once the film reaches the interesting twist do you realize the film played in different timelines. This is actually a very sad film. Very well done!

In Icelandic.
