Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s “Earwig”
Beautifully shot with nice production design and haunting music, this ambient-horror lacks anything to engage be it a story, suspense, sense of mystery, connection to the characters or anything we’ve not seen before

Lukas Feigelfeld’s “Hagazussa: A Heathen's Curse”
Earthy and sensual horror debut of quiet potency and staggering beauty

Eskil Vogt’s “The Innocents”
A tense horror on the dark side of childhood which plays like “Lord of the Flies”, Anton Leader’s “Children of the Damned” and Josh Trank’s “Chronicle” with a down-to-earth Swedish sensibility that heightens the stakes

Hanna Bergholm’s “Hatching”
Still from Hanna Bergholm’s “Hatching” with a young girl leaning over a giant speckled egg
