Trailer
Why watch this film?
Although not always remembered when talking about fantasy cinema, André Øvredal is one of the most original names in genre films with titles in his resume such as 'The Troll Hunter', 'The Autopsy' and 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark'. In 'Torden', the filmmaker dives into the creative and unusual story of a boy (Nat Wolff, from 'Paper Towns') who discovers he has powers of gods from Norwegian mythology. A fun and creative movie, good to watch with the family and travel through the typical fantasy stories of André Øvredal.

From the same director
Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark
Based on the book of the same name, 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' is a compilation of short horror stories for the young adult audience - and features production by Guillermo del Toro ('The Shape of Water', 'Pan's Labyrinth'). All this resulting in a chilling movie just right, full of plot twists and full of weirdness. In other words, it falls right into the taste of teenage horror fans.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter
An example of a movie with an interesting idea, but whose execution is limited by the rigorous boundaries of its own mythology. Clearly inspired by 'Alien: The Eighth Passenger', 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' narrates what its original title suggests: the last days of the crew of the Demeter ship (narrated in some pages of Bram Stoker's original novel), condemned to transport Dracula from Romania to London. Although these narrative limitations inhibit creativity, André Øvredal's (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) direction manages moments of truly brutal and disturbing violence and terror. We already know the fate, but this is one of those cases where the journey is what is worth the most.
Action
Close Range
A rogue soldier turned outlaw is thrust into a relentless fight with a corrupt sheriff, his obedient deputies, and a dangerous drug cartel in order to protect his sister and her young daughter.
Quicksand
A couple will fight against the forces of nature trapped in a quicksand pit. On the brink of divorce, they will have to work together to survive.
Overhaul
When truck racer Roger loses everything, he receives a tempting but dangerous offer: to work as the getaway driver for a gang of thieves.
The Creator
Released at a time when actors' and writers' unions are squarely opposed to the use of artificial intelligence in their workplaces, The Creator seems like a fish out of water, a film released at an inconvenient time. After all, Gareth Edwards' (Godzilla and Rogue One) feature film talks about a time when humans share space with highly advanced artificial intelligence robots. Is it a new Blade Runner? Not quite. As Joshua (John David Washington) grows fond of the small Alphie (Madeleine Yuna Voyles), an extremely advanced robot, Edwards questions whether the robots are exactly like Robocop and Terminator or, on the other hand, like A.I. - Artificial Intelligence. These are good reflections in an excessively long movie but once again show how the director and writer knows how to tell good stories and create impactful worlds.
