The veteran viewers at the Austin Festival howled in panic the night this feature-length film by André Øvredal played, the maker of Troll Hunter (2010). When it premiered in Sitges, no one dared go back to their hotel alone through the cemetery. Screams are predicted for its premier the 21 of December. And with good reason. We're in a morgue and a bell tolls. And when it rings out, they have already explained to us that in olden times, they used to tie a bell to the dead person's ankle in case they weren't totally dead. When they realised they were in the cold hospital cot or underground, they could move their ankle and the bell... would tinkle. Dry horror. Night time horror. Horror in corridors. Horror with strange sounds, disturbing travelling and little ditties that will make your blood run cold.
