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.

Director: Fredrik Hiller. Review: Adam Wing. Thomas Alfredson’s Let The Right One In is one of the strongest horror films of the last ten years, so I’m surprised that it’s taken this long for another Swedish horror movie to surface. Though to be fair, there’s a good chance that similar efforts have passed me by, because this latest offering arrives without the fanfare of Alfredson’s celebrated classic. Directed by Fredrik Hiller, Psalm 21 is a routine thriller dressed in religious robes and familiar horror tassels. A film in which everybody acts suspiciously and the CGI enhanced demons outstay their welcome. Billed as a horror movie, you’ll be better serviced if you ignore the booming bass lines and quick-fire editing; no cliché is too contrived in Fredrik Hilller’s overindulgent oddity.

Here's a bit of Monday morning mayhem for you. It's a great zombie short film called Zone 261. It's from Swedish filmmaker Fredrik Hiller’s who is anxious to turn it into a feature film - the first real 3D Zombie movie from Sweden.

Synopsis:

Landskrona, Sweden, 2013. A ship crashes into the harbor dock. Police enter the wreck - and are attacked by the infected crew. Bitten policemen fall in a coma - and wake up as rabid monsters.

The disease spreads like a wildfire. Everyone tries to escape.

But the city is quarantined - the military erects a concrete wall around the city. The few non-infected - Swedes and immigrants alike - take shelter in the citadel.

As the infected try to claw their way into their sanctuary, the non-infected have to decide who the worst monsters are: their former enemies inside - or the infected on the outside.

As...

The fascination with zombie infection has spread all over the world from Cuba to Japan and now Sweden’s own has made their film interpretation of the virus. In Zon 261, the year is 2013 and survivors in an apocalyptic Landskrona struggle to escape both the city and the impending threat of infection. Billed as a “a zombie movie – that isn’t a zombie movie – about xenophobia,” zombie films and political and social statements go together like peanut butter and jelly. Fredrik Hiller’s Zon 261 provides a unique film experience, as the zombies appear aware of their surroundings and capable of logical thought despite their desiccated bodies.

Who likes creepy Swedish horror films? Yeah, that’s right, you know you do. And you know what automatically makes a horror movie even creepier than ghosts and monsters alone? Priests and the Bible, that’s what. Add religion into the mix and you’re guaranteed to increase audience unease by at least a few degrees, which is exactly what Fredrik Hiller has done with his latest chiller, “Psalm 21”. In the latest trailer there are all manner of sinister beasties, ghostly atmosphere, and aggravated clergymen loudly quoting eerie snippets of scripture. Henrik Horneus (Jonas Malmsjo) is a beloved Stockholm priest who recently has had increasingly frightening nightmares about his dead mother. One day after service, he learns that his father… also a priest, has died mysteriously in a drowning accident.

Rating: 7 out of 10

If you only preach forgiveness and leave judgment unto God, how do you recognize when evil has been done? This question, among many others, seems to be at the heart of Swedish director Fredrik Hiller’s Psalm 21. Drawing heavily on the scripture from which it takes its name, Psalm 21 is a religious thriller with a twist of horror, and a strong message. At times creepy and macabre, the film delivers an engaging and suspenseful narrative amid a dark atmosphere rich in foreboding. Though the delivery of its message hijacks the latter parts, overrunning and drowning out the horror that set it up, Psalm 21 is a deep film ripe with robust performances and deft production that easily solidify it a place among the genre’s better films.

The story centers on...

Swedish horror films look to be coming on strong as evidenced by the trailer for the upcoming film Psalm 21. Well, at least someone is making cool horror movies these days.

Directed by Fredrik Hiller and starring Jonas Malmsjö, Niklas Falk, Björn Bengtsson, and Görel Crona, this flick looks pretty damned scary if I do say so myself. Check out the trailer which was spotted by the good folks at Quiet Earth and the synopsis below:

Official Synopsis:

Psalm 21 is a thriller about Henrik, a modern young priest living in Stockholm. He has nightmares about his dead mother. One day, he recieves word from the coronary in a remote village, deep in the dark woods of Nothern Sweden: his father, a priest himself, has drowned. The circumstances of the drowning are unexplained.

Henrik drives through the endless forests of Northern Sweden up to the desolate village of his father...

A psalm of David, Psalm 21 praises God in the first half, and lays out revenge for His enemies in the second which is obviously where the story gets it's tone. Billed as a psychological thriller (but it looks like horror to me), it's about a priest who investigates his fathers death and apparently (from what I can gather from the translation) awakens some supernatural forces who are hell bent on revenge. For what, I don't know. This is the feature directorial debut of Fredrik Hiller whose done quite a bit of acting, and I have to say, it looks pretty good.
