Netflix Launching Norwegian Psychological Horror ‘Cadaver’ Globally This Fall

Still from Cadaver

Netflix has announced that the first Norwegian Netflix film Cadaver will launch on October 22 globally on the streaming service.

Directed by Jarand Herdal and starring Gitte Witt, Thorbjørn Harr and Thomas Gullestad the film takes viewers on a journey where humanity is put to a test.

In the starving aftermath of a nuclear disaster, Leonora (Gitte Witt), Jacob (Thomas Gullestad) and their daughter Alice (Tuva Olivia Remman) are on the edge of survival. One day, the local hotel invites survivors to attend a theatre play, with a meal included, as a charitable effort to help those in need. Left with no choice, the family of three decide to go to the hotel, where the director, Mathias (Thorbjørn Harr), introduces the entire hotel as the stage. Attendees are given masks to help separate them from actors, but the play takes an eerie turn when audience members start to disappear. The line between reality and theatre quickly gets blurred, until Alice disappears in front of Leo and Jacob, and there’s no longer room for doubt: Something is very wrong with Mathias’ hotel.

Cadaver is set to launch exclusively on Netflix globally October 22.
