Thale (2012)
I wanted to see this one last year but there were no copies to be had. So it's first up this year.
Thale reminded me of another Norwegian import I saw a while back, Trollhunter. The movie focuses on two crime scene clean-up guys, Elvis and Leo. On a job they discover an odd naked girl lying in a tub full of milk (or something). Oh. And they find her tail in a freezer. While going through some cassette tapes of the man who had lived there they discover that this girl isn't at all what she seems.
The movie takes a bit to get going and it might be be a classical horror movie per se, but there are all the elements and it is a great introduction to a myth I only know a little about.
I have to give actress Silje Reinåmo credit. She has no lines, spends 90% of her screen time completely nude and still manages to deliver a character we believe. It is easy to do scared like thins, it is a bit harder to do violent-force-of-nature.
So far I think my month is off to a good start!
Tally: Watched 1, New 1
