The acclaimed Swedish horror-thriller From Darkness is all set to chill audiences in the UK with its Northern premiere at Grimmfest on 5th October. This gripping feature, produced by Pentagram Film and Eyra Media, has already caused quite a stir in Sweden, becoming a box-office standout and one of the country’s top picks for streaming rentals. Now, the film makes its way to Manchester’s Grimmfest, promising festival-goers an eerie dive into Nordic terror.
From Darkness follows Angelica, a park ranger, as she teams up with her ex-boyfriend, Viktor, to search for a missing woman lost within the dangerous confines of a Swedish nature reserve. Angelica and Viktor’s partnership is complicated not just by their personal history but also by the chilling folklore attached to the reserve: tales of a Cave Wraith—a malevolent spirit believed to haunt the area’s caves, once luring miners to their doom.

In a TV sports world filled with athletes, Swedish director Amir Chamdin sees Borje Salming — the late Hall of Fame defenseman who paved the way for Europeans into the National Hockey League when he joined the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1973 — as the perfect role model worthy of a pedestal for his humility and devotion to family.
“I saw this tough guy. In fact, he’s the most humble guy I ever met. He’s a sweetheart … he’s a king in how he treated people,” Chamdin tells The Hollywood Reporter of first meeting Salming in a Stockholm café to discuss making Borje: The Journey of a Legend, a six-part drama for Scandinavian streamer Viaplay that will bow May 2 in the U.S. after premieres in Sweden and Canada.
Valter Skarsgård plays Salming as first a struggling pro hockey player in small town Sweden before he was discovered by legendary scout Gerry McNamara,...

Landing on Netflix on Sunday the 26th of April are 10 new episodes of The Last Kingdom, the bloodthirsty historical drama based on Bernard Cornwell’s ‘The Saxon Stories’ novel saga.
