Chilling Icelandic Horror Thriller Film ‘The Damned’ Official US Trailer

“I wouldn’t sleep if I were you… a thing like that never stops.” Vertical has revealed the official trailer for the indie horror film The Damned, from young Icelandic filmmaker Thordur Palsson marking his feature directorial debut. Not to be confused with the film about US Civil War soldiers also titled The Damned from this year, this is a haunting horror set on Iceland in the past. A 19th-century widow (starring Odessa Young) has to make an impossible choice when, during an especially cruel winter, a foreign ship sinks off the coast of her Icelandic fishing village. The Damned, an ominous and chilling thriller, follows Eve and her crew as they come across a shipwreck and are faced with the moral dilemma to help or not. An atmospheric blend of drama and psychological horror that captivated audiences at the 2024 Sitges Film Festival this fall. Starring Odessa Young, Joe Cole, Siobhan Finneran, & Rory McCann. Oh damn this looks super creepy and frightening, and also so freezing cold with all that ice & snow in every shot. Horror fans should not skip this. // Continue Reading ›
