the damned

closing night – german premiere

the damned

The inhabitants of a small island witness a shipwreck. Shall they rush to the rescue? If they could instead take over the supplies on the ship, they would assure their own fragile survival. It’s a difficult decision. The small island community fears that a curse in the form of something evil will take possession of them. First feature by Icelandic director Thordur Palsson makes your blood freeze in your veins.

Fear Fact

»The struggle to show HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES at the festival lasted about two years. The film was considered to be non-marketable due to its brutality. Today, that would be a part of its marketing campaign.«
