“Destined to be a cult classic, this absorbing second feature from Iran-born, Denmark-based director Ali Abbasi is based on a short story by “Let the Right One In” author John Ajvide Lindqvist” – Alissa Simon, Variety
Read the positive reviews from Glenn Kenny, New York Times and Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times.
Customs officer Tina is known for her extraordinary sense of smell. It’s almost as if she can sniff out the guilt on anyone hiding something.
But when Vore, a suspicious-looking man, walks past her, her abilities are challenged for the first time ever.
Tina can sense Vore is hiding something she can’t identify. Even worse, she feels a strange attraction to him. As Tina develops a special bond with Vore and discovers his true identity, she also realizes the truth about herself.
Tina, like Vore, does not belong to this world. Her entire existence has been one big lie and now she has to choose: keep living the lie or embrace Vore’s terrifying revelations.
"refreshingly offbeat"
"It is mesmerising...a complex, richly satisfying piece of storytelling in which all the seemingly jagged, awkward edges eventually fit smoothly together."
"An exciting, intelligent mix of romance, Nordic noir, social realism, and supernatural horror that defies and subverts genre conventions."
"This supernatural romantic thriller constantly shifts genres, but its slow burn approach keeps things intriguing. Abbasi establishes and maintains an unusual, internal logic that will satisfy viewers who go along with every strange twist."
