Acclaimed horror film creator Erlingur Thoroddsen is back with a demonically cold-hearted family drama that has taken the Icelandic cinema audience by storm.

Óðinn lives alone with his daughter Rún after his ex-wife's suicide. As Óðinn begins to investigate two mysterious deaths at a youth home, secrets are uncovered that may be linked to both his wife's death and his troubled teenage daughter. In this atmospheric horror thriller, supernatural mystique collides with spine-chilling human darkness in an exquisite genre mix by Erlingur Thoroddsen (Rift, GFF 2017). Cold, based on the best-selling novel of the same name, has been shown to full houses in Icelandic cinemas over the past six months.
