I'll say right off the bat, I didn't really know who some of these Swedish actors were but as a resident of Sweden since a while back I had seen Johan Hedenberg. A wonderful actor.
What struck me right away was the extremely good, scored intro, the music throughout Dystopia is of I am a genuine fan of classic horror, so I was a bit suspicious when I heard VIAPLAY was doing Dystopia but boy was I surprised for a number of reasons.
The first is it kept me wondering what exactly was going on. There was just enough there to build atmosphere and tension without giving away the surprise. And it was delivered with such skill and care that it truly unfolded masterfully. You know something is wrong. You know something is up. But you can't quite figure out what it is. The Director of Dystopia is Richard Jarnhed and I need to keep an eye out for his future endeavors as he is madly talented.
And secondly this was directed by just one director. Richard directed all 8 episodes and that's not normal in Scandinavia.
And lastly, it gave us something new. This is possibly the best aspect because I am sick to death of cookie cutter horror movies. People nowadays have forgotten that horror doesn't just mean blood and guts. Before directors had to create tension and atmosphere by building the plot and unraveling the story slowly. It's refreshing to see this done with such care.
The acting is wonderful and directing is amazing. I was totally blown away by the music!
It is always nice to see a TV-series with some twists, and also those that give you some food for thought.
I am a bit blown away by the rather week reviews in Swedish press. One outlet even writes that it's outside the box and that they love the box. I am sure Dystopia will do very well internationally!
If you like Horror tension and at the same time mystery tension you should see Dystopia.
