| Besökarna (1988) by Joakim Ersgård | starring Kjell Bergqvist, Lena Endre and Johannes Brost | Horror/Thriller |

Besökarna (Eng. title The Visitors) is a Swedish horror/thriller movie I watched some time ago with a friend. We mostly chose it at random as it was on Netflix and we have a thing for old semi-tacky movies.

The plot centers around a young couple, Frank (Kjell Bergqvist) and Sara (Lena Endre) who move in to a secluded old house in the countryside with their two children. As one might imagine strange things start happening; wallpaper keeps falling down without explanation and wet footsteps appear in the attic. Frank contacts a paranormal investigator, Allan (Johannes Brost). Together they investigate the mysterious attic and unravel the house's history.

The movie is very much a product of the 80's and far from a masterpiece. It is a fun time though and does manage to get some suspence going, although I have a hard time calling it scary. The vibe is kind of silly in an accidental yet charming way. The effects and acting are good enough. The movie also features a fed up mailman just trying to do his job goddammit. I do think it's interesting and fun that the husband is the one who knows about the ghost and is thus the one deemed crazy, all too often I think movies rely on the "delusional hysterical woman" thing.

Funny quotes:

"Ja men skratta då för fan!" roughly translating to "Fucking laugh then!"

And following a conversation about peacock sexual dimorphism at the dinner table:

"Hanen måste göra sig fin för honan och sen kan dom para sig."

*slams glass on the table*

"I det här huset säger vi knulla!"

Translation:

"The male needs to make himself look nice for the female and then they can mate."

"In this house we say fucking!"

Overall I think it's worth a watch if you're into horror and older movies! It might be hard to find an English translation or subtitled version though(?)

My score would be maybe a 6/10 for production and a 7/10 for enjoyment.

Fra utstillingen Hjem @haugesundbilledgalleri der jeg deltar med flere verk, en fantastisk fin utstilling som jeg er så glad for å delta på, kuratert av Ruth Hege Halstensen. Utstillingen varer fram til 06. August. Verd et besøk!!

«Hvor vi kommer fra og hvor vi søker oss til, er et av livets store tema. Hjem er mer enn et fast bosted. «Hjem» er et flytende begrep som endres i takt med livsløpet, og kan påvirkes av omstendigheter vi ikke rår over som; krig, personlige traumer eller miljøkriser», sier Halstensen. «Jeg har valgt ut kunstverk fra samlingen som på en eller annen måte omhandler det komplekse forholdet mennesker har til hjemmet».

Kunstnere representert i utstillingen: Beatrice Guttormsen, Per Inge Bjørlo, Idun Baltzersen, Herman Mbamba, Hanne Friis, Mattias Härenstam, Elin Brissman, Lena Katrine & Heidi-Anett, Ole Frøvig, Njål Lunde, Norvald Valand, Hanne Borchgrevink, Irma Salo Jæger, Susann Kathlen Mader, Olav Nygaard og Annette Kierulf #haugesundbilledgalleri #tresnitt #hjem #utstilling #hvaerethjem

I don't know. I've lost count. I had a girl in that cage when we were dining upstairs. Those kind of women disappear all the time. No one misses them.

Trolösa (Faithless) by Liv Ulmann 2000 with Krister Henriksson, Lena Endre

If I had to choose the saddest movie ever existing, Trolösa would be it. I was so eager to watch it a few years back, I watched the Swedish version that had Spanish subtitles and I had to find myself English Subs. Back then, I was in a different emotional state and it was hard to watch this movie, because of the drama that unfolds throughout. Well, it hurt me that much, that to this day, I can’t watch it in one go. It’s utterly brilliant and wonderfully acted, but it just... hurts.

Paul is an incredibly nice person who is very responsive to what the actors say.
