The FrightFest strand at the Glasgow Film Festival always throws in a few surprises and this year it is Finale. It is an adaptation of the award winning novel by Steen Langstrup novel and is brought to life by Danish director, Søren Juul Petersen.

The opening titles set the tone in its declaration to change the perception of Denmark. We also have before the film begins a little homage to the original Frankenstein. It is a nice nod to a true classic.

The initial setting for the film is a petrol station out in the middle of nowhere. And from here we meet Agnes Berger (Anne Bergfeld) and Belinda Anderson (Karin Michelsen). We follow the pair who are working the nightshift on the same night Denmark are in the final of a non-specified sport event. So no expectation of a lot, if any, customers until we encounter three strangers.

Exclusive: Horror marks first feature from new production company.

Danish producer/director Søren Juul Petersen and Editor/producer Jacob Kondrup are launching production company Frightgeist with their first feature Finale, based on the award winning novel ‘Alt Det Hun Ville Ønske Hun Ikke Forstod’ by the Danish horror novelist Steen Langstrup.

The film, in post production for delivery in July, is financed mainly by the Danish Film Institute. Scanbox Entertainment has Nordic rights.

The film shot in Denmark and Germany with some dialogue in English and German.

The most-anticipated pitch of the session was Johannes Nyholm’s feature debut The Giant. The director showed several scenes from the film, but refrained from showing footage of the fantastical Giant as he said the VFX was still being worked on.

Co-producer Andreas Rocksen said the filmmakers had a new theory about how Hammarskjold’s plane went down in 1961, but he said the theory won’t be revealed until the film is ready.
