In this Swedish horror-film series, a terrible story of what happened there 20 years ago unfolds

In this Swedish horror-film series, a terrible story of what happened there 20 years ago unfolds.

'My body is just telling me this is a bad place,' says Hanne, whose boyfriend has brought her and several young, attractive mates to a posh ski lodge he's thinking of buying.

It's just one of several horror-film tropes deployed in this Swedish series, along with sinister dolls, a mysterious old man and things going bump in the night.

As the gang settles in, the terrible story of what happened there 20 years ago unfolds – and they begin to feel very unwelcome…

An effective chiller which still manages to find originality in the familiar.
