      The Innocents chillingly subverts the purity of youth in a powerfully acted thriller that lingers long after the credits roll.

      Ernest I had no idea that it was a foreign film with subtitles. After a few minutes I got used to reading the dialog. The Horror genre of the fim sneaks up onyou, well done. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/22 Full Review Peter C a massive massive fave, one of the best. The only problem is i guess i can't quite understand the foreign language in the film. I am not sure if there is one with English subtitles though. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Raf M Extreme deeply touching Horror Drama between strangely connected kids in a norwegian housing block settlement. The childish minds are completely overwhelmed by their situation of having metaphysical powers at their disposal and thus fall into a maelstrom of violence that no one but themselves can stop... I haven't seen a horror movie in a long time that has found such a unique approach to the genre since "Funny Games". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Fred S Nice idea but, toooo much Kids for a shoking movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Jeffrey P Slower paced eerie horror whose dynamics are not dynamic enough despite a message worth considering. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Dave C A very intriguing fantasy/mystery/supernatural thriller. Its slow building story evolves at just the right pace for its mystery to grow with it. What we understand of the characters evolves with each event, and the eeriness and suspense build as we see the links form and strengthen between them. This has moments of true horror about it, but it always holds itself at the psychological, supernatural thriller threshold which I think gives it more gravitas - the levels of horror it could have delivered upon within the confines of the story would have cheapened the thrill and the mystery. The young cast are absolutely brilliant! I will definitely be keeping a keen eye on more from Eskil Vogt Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's really good. Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Vogt brings out the ugliness of childhood... and ramps it up with endless malice that slowly builds to horrific action. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal Sophistication. Depth. And an appreciation for old-fashioned emotion and unexpected heroism. It’s hard to frame The Innocents as a feel-good movie, but there’s much in it that’s ennobling as well as disturbing, and satisfyingly weird. Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers The young actors portraying these kids all deliver unexpectedly extraordinary performances. The group epitomizes a generation growing up utterly detached and subdivided. Oct 31, 2023 Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Letras Libres The second film by Norwegian director Eskil Vogt belongs to a fruitful narrative tradition of children capable of doing evil, even without being fully aware of it. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/4 Oct 2, 2023 Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof The Innocents is a realistic and disturbing approximation to superheroes that explores themes such as friendship or loss of innocence.
