After recently re-discovering my fondness for movies that are about people dealing with grief, I seem to have almost accidentally watched quite a few, and the oddly titled Koko-Di Koko-Da can be included in this category.
Like many of these movies, Koko-Di Koko-Da begins with a emotional and upsetting scene which explains the grief that, in this movie, a couple are going through. After struggling to cope with the loss, the couple decide to go on a camping trip to the woods but do not worry. This is certainly not a typical horror movie about people camping in the woods.
On the first night in the woods, the couple are attacked by a sideshow artist and his entourage which includes a man, a woman and a dog. The attack is violent and creepy,...

To mark the release of Koko-Di Koko-Da on 7th September, we’ve been given 2 copies to give away on Blu-ray.
A couple, Tobias (Leif Edlund Johansson) and Elin (Ylva Gallon), embark on a trip to find their way back to each other and repair their broken relationship. A sideshow artist (Peter Belli) and his shady entourage emerge from the woods, terrorizing them, luring them deeper and deeper into a maelstrom of psychological terror and humiliating slapstick. Desperately the couple tries to escape, only to find themselves back where they started: in their tent, waking up at dawn. By way of their tangled dreams, we relive one particular night in their lives over and over again. From this nightmarish atmosphere, underpinned by a haunting score and striking cinematography, a poignant story emerges about relationships, grief and reconciliation, and love as a healing force.

In her four-star review, Emily von Seele wrote that Koko-Di Koko-Da is a "...tense illustration of the never-ending nightmare that is the grief process," and with the surreal horror film coming to theaters this month from Dark Star Pictures, the wait to see it on the big screen is nearly over.

It already opened in the Us in November and should be available on VOD now.

One of the most anticipated films at the North Bend Film Fest was Johannes Nyholm’s Koko-di Koko-da. This abstract and surreal piece of fantasy is a tense illustration of the never-ending nightmare that is the grief process.
Three years after suffering the tragic loss of their daughter, Tobias (Lief Edlund) and Elin (Ylva Gallon) decide to take a camping trip together. Their marriage has been strained (to say the least) since their daughter’s death. They don’t communicate at all, they argue constantly over mundane things, and they can barely stand to be in each other’s presence. Some people are able to heal through grief, and for others, it tears them apart. We get the sense that this relationship is very much in its last days, and that this trip could be the one last effort to try to save it (although they don’t seem to...

When “Koko-di Koko-da” characters Elin (Ylva Gallon) and Tobias (Leif Edlund) discover their daughter Maja dead on her eighth birthday, they think life couldn’t get worse. Shockingly, it can. The film jumps ahead three years to the couple’s miserable camping holiday, which gets interrupted by three psychopaths — a dandy in a bowler hat, a big-haired girl, and a giant — who kill them, over and over again, with guns, knives, fists, and a very hungry dog. The wicked murderers have no motive. They’re just inevitable death — as is all death — no matter how hard people like Elin and Tobias and, well, all of us try to escape.
Writer-director Johannes Nyholm’s fable about grief is at once brutal and childlike, a horror-show that hums along to a nursery rhyme that gives “Koko-di Koko-da” its name. Not that children should be allowed anywhere near Nyholm’s bloody nihilism, where...

It’s hard to believe it’s almost time for a new year of the Sundance Film Festival, but we’re now less than two months away, and this writer is extremely excited to head to Park City once again, especially after digging into Sundance’s initial lineup announcement today. Not only does their Midnight slate look insanely great, but there are a ton of films running in Sundance’s other programming tracks that I am beyond excited to see in January.
Some of the highlights from today’s lineup announcement include Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile which chronicles the life of Ted Bundy (played by Zac Efron) through the experiences of his girlfriend; Paradise Hills, which stars Emma Roberts, Milla Jovovich, and Awkwafina; Relive from producer Jason Blum; Dan Gilroy’s Buzzsaw; and the Alien-themed documentary Memory. I’ve gone ahead and broken down all the titles...

Another entry in the Sff’s ‘Freak Me out’ section, Corridor makes for an intriguingly persuasive paranoid psycho thriller that draws from the best of Hitchcock, Polanski and Haneke and is all the more impressive for being the feature debut of Swedish university graduate filmmakers Johan Lundborg and Johan Storm.
Frank is a lonely, brainy socially inapt medical student who moves into a plush apartment. It is the perfect hub to concentrate on his forthcoming exams, until he attracts the interests of Lotte – the intrusive, overly keen to get close girl upstairs. It’s not long before Lotte’s continuous house calls test Frank’s patience. But then he receives threatening phone calls from her violent and jealous boyfriend and, following an eventful night of fear induced theatrics, Frank is convinced that Lotte has been murdered and that he is the killer’s next target.

I strongly believe that anyone who proclaims themselves a horror fan should be required to read Danse Macabre, Stephen King's non-fiction commentary on horror fiction in print, radio and film. Although it was written almost 30 years ago, his often-academic examination into the influences on his writing is extremely insightful. One discussion that I think of time and time again is his classification of the horror genre into three levels: terror, horror and revulsion. King further states that terror is the "finest element," and one he strives for himself. He defines terror as the suspenseful moment before the actual monster is revealed -- horror is when we actually see the monster. Finally, King equates revulsion with the gag reflex, a bottom level which he considers a cheap gimmick.

Offering proof that nonconforming protagonists like those of recent films like Kick-Ass, Scott Pilgrim and The Social Network aren't the exclusive property of Hollywood, Swedish directors Johan Lundborg and Johan Storm's first feature film Corridor centers on the character of Frank, a young, withdrawn medical student played by Norwegian actor Emil Johnsen, whose world is turned upside down by his new upstairs neighbor Lotte (Ylva Gallon) and her biker boyfriend Micke (Peter Stormare), a couple that challenges Frank's already tenuous grasp of illusion versus reality. I spoke with rising star Johnsen at this week's Fantastic Fest, about his work on the thriller, and why he was terrified of mirrors as a child. Read my...

The lonely men of the Swedish "Corridor" and the Norwegian "Fatso" have a lot in common. They live by themselves, they're uncomfortable with other people, they like to eat in front of their TVs, and their solitary lives are disrupted by flaky, outgoing girls who drive them nuts with their loud lovemaking and demands for interaction.
The woman in "Corridor" (written and directed by the Johans Lundborg and Storm) is Lotte (Ylva Gallon), a hairdresser who corrals her downstairs neighbor Frank (Emil Johnsen) into first helping her move desk, then in loaning her some laundry detergent, then in shifting her boyfriend Micke's (Peter Stormare) motorcycle. Micke has some anger issues, and Frank, an anal-retentive med student who would rather spend all of his time studying, finds the addition of Lotte and her lover to the building begins to really get in the way of his work.

Peter Stormare is one of the best character actors out there today, and I'll watch anything he's in (hell, he even made Armageddon slightly tolerable). So it's with excitement that we alert you to his newest film, Corridor.
