During the bright Nordic summer a group of children reveals mysterious powers. But what starts out as innocent play, soon takes a dark and violent turn in this gripping supernatural thriller.
With its tense atmosphere and lacking of the shiny special effects we are all already used to, The Innocents creates that pleasant discomfort we want from a good supernatural thriller. While Vogt skillfully explores the concept of innocence through the prism of childhood, many see the legacy of the great Stephen King in his masterfully naturalistic view. You wonder what The Boys childhood in the mega popular Amazon superheroes series looked like? Watch The Innocents!
Eskil Vogt is a Norwegian screenplay writer and director and he’s been on the public’s radar for some time now. He attracted a lot of attention with his script for Thelma (2017) and carried on in style with two films at the Cannes film festival last year: The Innocents and The Worst Person in the World which he wrote.
