This claustrophobic thriller from Denmark is the first feature from director/co-writer Rasmus Kloster Bro. Old-fashioned ‘trapped-in-a-box’-style scares fuse with a streak of social commentary, but Cutterhead can be enjoyed simply as an effective thriller about a group of people trapped underground in terrifying circumstances.
Photojournalist Rie (Christine Sonderris) is covering the construction of the Copenhagen Metro.

Cowboys wins audience award, Hush also wins multiple prizes.
The 60th Pula Film Festival – the country’s national film festival — comes to a close today celebrating a particularly strong year for Croatian film. Co-production Circles and Croatian national production A Stranger [pictured] each won a slew of top prizes.
Croatian filmmaking is having something of a boom time at the moment, both in terms of number of productions and their international appeal – both Circles and A Stranger played in Berlin’s Forum, and Dual and The Priest’s Children were buzzy titles in Karlovy Vary earlier this month.
Pula presented a record 24 titles in its competitions for national films and minority co-productions. The healthy levels of production are in part due to support from the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, but also seeing local broadcasters backing films for the first time in 9 years — such as festival opening comedy Handymen (Majstori) by Dalibor Matanic.
