“One of the best horror flicks of recent years... an instant classic.” - Cineuropa

During the bright Nordic summer, a group of children reveal their dark and mysterious powers when the adults aren't looking. Suddenly, playtime takes a dangerous and unnerving turn.

Norwegian director Eskil Vogt (Blind), who is also Joachim Trier’s regular script collaborator (and co-wrote current arthouse favourite The Worst Person in the World) skilfully subverts the traditional coming-of-age film into a thrilling and uncanny tale of morality, bravery and loneliness. Featuring astounding naturalistic performances from a stellar cast of child actors, The Innocents is a memorable and strikingly fresh supernatural thriller.
