lake of the dead (1958)

aka De dødes tjern. The Lake of the Damned.
"They say that everyone in the cabin will be possessed..."
Some friends travel to a remote cabin in the Norwegian forest, that has recently been bought by a relative. As they travel up Liljan (Henny Moan) acquaints them with legends about the lake, a murder, and ghosts, but whilst telling her friends these, she also reveals that she is uneasy for her brother, Bjørn (Per Lillo-Stenberg), who has been staying there, and has not replied to her letters to him...
Atmospheric and tense mystery: considered a classic of Norwegian cinema. One to watch on a dark and stormy night.
