RED DOT Review: Grim, Gripping Swedish Survival Thriller Now on Netflix By Chad Collins
Written by Alain Daborg and Per Dickson
Directed by Alain Darborg
Red Dot, Netflix’s first Swedish original feature-film, is darker, gorier, and generally more misanthropic than most Netflix genre fare. A spiraling and unyielding descent into a frozen hellscape of the protagonists’ own design,
Red Dot’s high-concept, high-yield premise– namely, a couple on a camping retreat are awoken by the sight of a red laser dot in their tent– makes for a blisteringly frightening 80-minute ride. Almost Faustian in nature, Nadja (Nanna Blondell) and Einar (Johannes Kuhnke) are purveyors of their own suffering– in asking for too much, they’re posed to meet their ends.
Marking Netflix s first-ever Swedish movie,
Red Dot has now shot onto the streaming service for anyone after a relentlessly grim survival thriller.
The movie follows married couple David (Anastasios Soulis) and Nadja (Nanna Blondell) who are on a romantic trip in the Swedish mountains that quickly turns into a nightmare. On their first night, a red laser dot appears in their tent and forces them to flee into the wilderness, leaving the couple fighting for their survival.
But
Red Dot has a dark twist in its tail – the hunters that David and Nadja think are after them actually turn out to be someone much closer to home, and they realise that their past has come back to haunt them.
