Handling The Undead – Watch the new film from the writer of Let The Right One In

On a hot summer day in Oslo, the dead mysteriously awaken, and three families are thrown into chaos when their deceased loved ones come back to them. Who are they, and what do they want? A family is faced with the mother’s reawakening before they have even mourned her death after a car accident; an elderly woman gets the love of her life back the same day she has buried her; a grandfather rescues his grandchild from the gravesite in a desperate attempt to get his daughter out of her depression. Handling the Undead is a drama with elements of horror about three families, a story about grief and loss, but also about hope and understanding of what we can’t comprehend or control.

The film is directed by Thea Hvistendahl, from a script by John Ajvide Lindqvist (Let The Right One In, Border) in collaboration with Thea Hvistendahl.

Handling The Undead stars Renate Reinsve, Anders Danielsen Lie, Bjørn Sundquis, Bente Børsum, Bahar Pars &  Inesa Dauksta.

The film opens exclusively at the IFC Center in New York on 31st May 2024. It then opens in select cities on 7th June.
