Psalm 21
Stars: Jonas Malmsjö, Niklas Falk, Björn Bengtsson, Görel Crona, Josefin Ljungman | Written and Directed by Fredrik Hiller
If you are not into the whole religion thing about hell and damnation it can be hard to watch movies that rely on these themes and be able to take them seriously. I’ll admit I am sceptical about it all but I at least try to watch the movies in the context of what they are and go into it with an understanding that the people within the movie world itself do believe so I’ll have to watch it from their point of view. That’s what I had to do with Psalm 21.
The story centres on Henrik Horneus a priest whose father had died in suspicious circumstances. This along with other events causes him to have a crisis of faith, which in a priest you have to admit is quite a problem.

It's been a long while since last we heard anything about Fredrik Hiller's Swedish horror flick, Psalm 21. March 24th, 2009 to be exact. The good news? The film has nailed down distro. The bad? It's not here in the States.
The flick will be headed direct to DVD in the UK on May 30th courtesy of Revolver Entertainment. We'll keep our ears open for a Stateside release.
Directed by Hiller and starring Jonas Malmsjö, Niklas Falk, Björn Bengtsson, and Görel Crona, this flick looks pretty damned scary if we do say so ourselves. Dig on the cover art, stills, and the UK trailer below.
