There’s no gore and little violence, so why does Eskil Vogt’s film about children with special powers provoke such strong reactions? He says it’s because the cruelty exhibited is uncomfortably relatable
Eskil Vogt, the Oscar-nominated co-writer of “The Worst Person in the World,” explores a childhood paradox in his new horror movie: how kids can be both innocent and cruel.
Fresh off his Best Screenplay Oscar nomination for "The Worst Person in the World," Norwegian filmmaker Eskil Vogt goes in a much different direction with his new movie "The Innocents." This subtle yet relentlessly eerie supernatural thriller first premiered at Cannes in 2021. Now it's set for release this weekend and I promise you, this one will rattle you in ways you won't be expecting.
